Can a Non-US resident apply for US online bank account

It would greatly help me if you can help me with the above question?

thanks you for your assistance

Sure - you would prob have to fax in / mail in ID proof - have done it as Canadian though.

great, do you know which banks accept that, i mean mailing the document and not visiting in person to a branch?

[rsot]

Harris bank might - call them to ask. Might be a bit different for overseas but worth a try.

You can open with etrade (you would have to send in documents and everything). There might be some limitations on what you can do with the account so check before you open.

did anyone successfully did that, have an online bank account while not a US resident/citizen... Thank you for sharing the banks and experience
