* Corporate US Bank Account (US Bank Florida)
US Bank Account for non U.S. Residents and Companies - Description
We have got a bunch of new customers, non-US citizens, seeking for the
US bank account. Many US banks, based on requirements of USA Patriot Act
quits their contracts for US bank accounts with customers who are not US
citizens.
The section 312 of the USA Patriot Act declares what the due diligence
is to be for correspondent accounts and private banking accounts in USA
for non-US citizens. In general each financial institution in USA which
establishes, maintains, administers, or manages a private banking
account or a correspondent account in the United States for a non-United
States person, including a foreign individual visiting the United
States, or a representative of a non-United States person shall
establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due
diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably
designed to detect and report instances of money laundering through
those accounts.
There are some additional standards for certain correspondent accounts
which apply to correspondent account which is requested or maintained
by, or on behalf of, a foreign bank operating under an offshore banking
license or under a banking license issued by a foreign country that has
been designated as non cooperative with international anti-money
laundering principles or procedures by an intergovernmental group or
organization of which the United States is a member, with which
designation the United States representative to the group or
organization concurs or by the Secretary of the Treasury as warranting
special measures due to money laundering concerns.
The enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls for above
accounts shall, at a minimum, ensure that the financial institution in
the United States takes reasonable steps to ascertain for any such
foreign bank, the shares of which are not publicly traded, the identity
of each of the owners of the foreign bank, and the nature and extent of
the ownership interest of each such owner and to conduct enhanced
scrutiny of such account to guard against money laundering and report
any suspicious transactions and to ascertain whether such foreign bank
provides correspondent accounts to other foreign banks and, if so, the
identity of those foreign banks and related due diligence information.
Further, US banks are required to keep minimum standards for private
banking accounts. If a private banking account is requested or
maintained by, or on behalf of, a non-United States person, then the due
diligence policies, procedures, and controls required shall, at a
minimum, ensure that the financial institution takes reasonable steps to
ascertain the identity of the nominal and beneficial owners of, and the
source of funds deposited into, such account as needed to guard against
money laundering and report any suspicious transactions under subsection
and to conduct enhanced scrutiny of any such account that is requested
or maintained by, or on behalf of, a senior foreign political figure, or
any immediate family member or close associate of a senior foreign
political figure that is reasonably designed to detect and report
transactions that may involve the proceeds of foreign corruption.
The term `private banking account means an account (or any combination
of accounts) that requires a minimum aggregate deposits of funds or
other assets of not less than $1,000,000 and is established on behalf of
1 or more individuals who have a direct or beneficial ownership interest
in the account and is assigned to, or is administered or managed by, in
whole or in part, an officer, employee, or agent of a financial
institution acting as a liaison between the financial institution and
the direct or beneficial owner of the account.
That seems to be a lot of work for US banks, so many of them rather
decide to make policies or internal rules to not accept non-US citizens
any more. Thus many non-US citizens get their US bank accounts closed
and need to find a new US bank which would accept them.
There are STILL US banks which accept non-US citizens to open the US
bank account. Thetaworld Corporation will assist any of them to get the
US bank account for the fee of 400 USD payable in several different
ways: E-gold, Western Union, postal money order, ACH transfer, SWIFT
international wire transfer, Paypal and in many other ways.

2.
Can I use my medical insurance card as the valid identification
instead of passport to open the US bank account for non US resident?
In most cases while dealing with banks which accept non US
citizens without the SSN, you will need to provide two types of
identification:
*
the primary form of identification and
*
the secondary form of identification
The primary form of identification must be an unexpired
government-issued identification bearing a photograph.
The primary form of identification for non US citizens while
opening the US bank account either individually or through the company,
shall be one of following:
*
Passport
*
National identity card with photograph or identity card (ID)
issued by a home country
*
Driver's license, temporary driver's license learner's
permit, non-driver identification card; and all with photographs issued
by a home country, state, district, commonwealth or territory of the
United States
*
Alien registration card ("Green Card")
*
Canadian driver's license with photograph
*
Permanent resident card with photograph
The secondary form of identification for non US citizens wishing
to obtain US bank account can be one of following:
*
Government issued ID (identification card) or passport
*
Driver's license with photograph
*
Medicare card or medical insurance card bearing the photograph
*
Credit or debit card bearing the photograph
*
Certified birth certificate
And in most cases the copy of passport and the ID or driver's
license will be needed as minimum for the US bank account. Instead of
passport, you might use the certified birth certificate and that is
something what everybody can get even if the person is located outside
of his native country.

Do I get the VISA or MasterCard with the US bank account?
When you apply for the US bank account, you might not get
automatically the VISA or MasterCard. Such cards can be either credit or
debit, although without the previous US residency many non US citizens
will receive the debit card upon separate application.
In general banks distinguish between their services, so when you
apply for the bank account you can apply in the same time also for the
MasterCard. However, it depends greatly from bank to bank if such
application can be done.
However, Thetaworld Corporation has the solution for everyone
including for those which have the US bank account but do not have their
ATM card or VISA or MasterCard debit or credit card. We will make sure
that you get the ATM card or VISA or MasterCard debit card and that you
can withdraw your funds from the US bank account on any ATM machine in
the world.

Conditions of the use of such US bank account you should be safe with
the bank.
You and the US bank can terminate the banking agreement per such
