Re: Which banks work with Mismatched names
In order to open a bank account in the US they want a lot of matching information. Drivers license number, date of birth, social security number, address that is local.
My driver license has a address that is more than 50 miles from where I was opening an account. About a week after I opened the account and they wanted to close it telling me I had to give them a address that was in the same city or near by. I had just got married recently and moved in with my wife so I didn't have an electric bill or anything similar in my name yet. I ended up having to bring in a copy of my lease agreement which they finely excepted even though they already had my social, DL#, and photo ID. It really doesn't make sense since lots of people have two address if the own more than one house.
They want to know exactly who you are to make sure you're not funding terrorists or laundering money.
I'm not saying its impossible, anything is possible, but it wont be easy.
