Why Should I Apply for a US Bank Account as An Illegal Immigrant?

A US bank account protects your money, allows you to have a savings safety net, and helps you establish a financial footprint.

Most importantly, it will allow you to pay taxes, which works in your favor if you plan to become a legal resident.

 

What You Need to Know About Opening a US Bank Account

Be prepared to have to do more than a citizen to open your US bank account.

Basic things to know are below:

• You will have to show multiple forms of ID. You’ll need to have an original copy of your passport, driver’s license, or Visa.
• You must already have obtained an ITIN. This guide helps you with the process.
• Not all banks will accept your ITIN. If possible, try to open a bank account at a branch in your home country first. However, some banks that are known for accepting ITINs are Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
• Avoid online applications. Online applications are complex and time-consuming. For the best chance of opening a US bank account, it is recommended that you do it in person at a local branch.
• You will have to make a deposit. Deposits usually range from $50-$1500 depending on the banking institution. However, if you open an account with a large deposit they will want to verify where the funds came from.
