I do have a US bank account but still not sure how to accept ACH transfers from my clients. Thank you.

I quoted their answer. They say, in the branches in Florida, this is not possible. Which really sucks, I was already anxious since people got through it at CapitalOne, but seems that this is not possible in Florida :/ Dear Tanvir,

"(...) while non-resident aliens can sometimes visit one of our full service branches to open an account, all of our locations in Florida are Cafés which won't have this service available." I will try with other banks in Florida then.

I was preparing myself to explain so many things and giving references but surprisingly nothing was needed. When I gave my status that I am a foreigner without having a SSN he said Yes you can get a account without SSN with your foreign passport ! Mr. Pedro was so spontaneously explaining everything about account, I am impressed. Account Type: Essential Checking Opening amount needed: 50 USD Documents I gave: 1.Foreign passport 2.Driving license 3.International Credit card from my home country 4.local address proof (gas bill) 5. Amount However, if you keep USD.300 minimum balance everyday then all the monthly and yearly charge waives. So this was great for me.

First of there are basic things that all banks require, An ID ( passport) SSN / ITIN ( you can get your ITIN online, there are several agencies that take care of it for you), a valid US address ( which can also be handled by mail forwarding agencies in the us ) then a us Number which can also be paygo ultra mobile sim or similar services). With all these you’re still not in the clear , now you need an agency/individual to assist you open the account and they usually charge with 2000-3000$ varies. Remember pay only when your account is opened and you’ve been able to deposit into and it bears your details. There are also free ways and I’m sure some of you already know of it. Like Payoneer, TransferWise. There are new ones coming up like Passbook by Remitly and others. Hi
