    Good info! We find that bank rules change constantly, and most significant banks want to do an office site inspection for a U.S. company, but this does not mean you may find a branch manager who will set it up without that step, and perhaps not even an ITIN. Just don't assume if you fly to the U.S. to a bank, they will open the account for your LLC when you are there in person. They might open a personal account. Some banks want a utility bill for both the business address and personal signer from a U.S. source. Pro tip: If you have a contact, make sure that person is there when you fly to the U.S. It differs from the one person who can help you be on vacation and no one else in that branch can help you. Especially if you found someone with an expectation to the normal process.

    I live in Brazil, but I want to open an account at a bank in the United States so I can protect my assets from inflation here in Brazil, but I don't know which bank to open an account with, I thought about digital banks. Currently I store it in stable coins, more specifically in USDT, but I have to rely on the fact that they actually have the reserves and I don't trust them. So I wanted a bank and I have Wize but there is no remuneration there, my idea is to save, because I don't know many investments in fixed income so I only invest in Nasdaque there.

    Hello, have you made a video on how US residents receiving cheques in Canadian dollars can deposit them without getting dinged for bank commission? For example, if the spot rate is .74 (Cdn to US$) Bank of America will add a commission of 3% therefore you receive credit at .71. Also, they will put a hold on the funds for 4 to 6 weeks. Looking for some alternatives. Thank you.

I don't have a U.S. address. Currently, I am pursuing my graduate studies. I plan to work in the U.S. during the winter and summer breaks, but I'm concerned about not having a U.S. bank account for my employer to deposit my earnings. Therefore, I would like to inquire about how someone like me, with U.S. citizenship but no U.S. address, can apply for a bank account. Any guidance would be appreciated.
