If you are selling using pay pal, 2Checkout, Storm pay, Click Bank, or any other common payment service, you know how expensive and time consuming is to get your fund in your country.

I wrote this report to help people like myself, who searches for an easy way to open a US Bank Account without Social Security Number, without going to the US, and virtually without cost!

But before you start, read through the FAQ. (Frequently asked question).

Now, let’s go to work.



Step1: Which Bank?

Introducing Financial! (Financial owns Banks and Securities, LLC)

This bank has provided excellent and fast customer service. I was able to open our bank account within 10 days – and that includes mail delivery tome from my country to the USA.


You can visit the bank now at www.etrade.com but don’t click to open your account! Filling the wrong form will get your application denied. I’ll walk you through the right process in just a minute.

To open your account we will be using the service of securities, LLC- a member of the SIPC( Security Investor Protection Corporation).It is affiliated with Bank-allowing you to have banking service

Step 2: Opening Your Account.

Offers two accounts and two different forms: the first account is a Checking Account. Non-US residents can’t open this account.

The second account is a brokerage account. It works just like a checking account. However, you also have the option to use it for investing (You don’t have to invest if you don’t want to – you can just use it as a checking account).

This account is available to residents and non-US residents. This brokerage account allows you to write US checks, have a VISA Platinum Debit Card, and full internet banking. You can also ACH (direct deposit) funds from pay pal, 2CheckOut, Ad sense, or any other US bank.

As a non-US resident you will need to fill out the following forms:

1. Brokerage Account Application
2. Tax Withholding Form (W-8BEN)



Tax will not be withheld from your deposit. Tax is only withheld if you make profit on an investment made through.

Mail both forms along with a photocopy of your passport:

E*TRADE Securities LLC
P.O.Box 1542
Merrifield, VA 22116-1542
USA.

Step 3: Ordering Your FREE checkbook.

You can phone and request your checkbook before receiving you welcome kit, and even before any fund have been deposited into your account.
Just call them on 1-916-636-2510.
Alternatively, you can wait to request a checkbook after you receive your welcome pack.

You can also ask for your account details over the phone and login to your bank account. YOU DO NOT have to wait for your welcome pack to access your account and deposit funds.

Step 4; Initial Deposit

You can fund your account by including a US check money order with your application. However, if you are including a check order, it will need to be at least in the amount of $1,000.

Or………..

You can fund your account in any amount via Pay pal, 2CheckOut or any other account via ACH (direct deposit). Initial deposits can be $10 sent from pay pal.

You can also wire funds, in any amount, from your home bank account.

Step 5; Requesting Your Visa Debit Card.

Your welcome pack will arrive in approximately 2 weeks. It will include a simple form to request your Platinum VISA debit card. Please note; you will need a minimum balance of $1,000(US) before you can request your VISA card.


After you have opened Your Account;

Once your account is open you are now ready to add your details to pay pal, Ad sense, or any other place you want to receive ACH(direct debits) from. Just enter the following details to transfer funds into your new US account.


Bank name: ETRADE BANK.
Routing number: 056073573.
Accounting type: Checking Account
Account number: Your personal account number.


*ACH (direct transfer) is different from a wire transfer. A wire transfer has different routing number and usually used for International Transfer.

Enjoy banking in the USA!
