Instructions
Step 1
Please note that almost all American banks operating in Russia are the same Russian banks operating under American names. Their activities are also controlled by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. That is why, first, check with the type of bank where the main branch is located. And contact directly the bank whose branch will be located in the United States.
Step 2
Consult with a bank specialist what documents are required to open an account. He will also be able to tell you which account is best for you.
Step 3
Use the service of a specialized company. This is necessary if you cannot directly contact an American bank (for example, you are currently in Russia and do not intend to go to America in the near future), but at the same time want to open a bank account that belongs to the United States.
Step 4
Compare the offers that American banks offer when opening an account. Thus, you can choose a bank that is more suitable for you in terms of service cost, accumulated interest and ease of opening the account itself.
Step 5
Please note that in every American bank, the procedure for creating an account for non-residents may have some nuances. For example, you may be required to have a passport or other documents.
Step 6
Draw up a contract for opening an account. At the same time, if the opening of an account in a US bank is to be carried out through a specialized company, you need to certify your signature samples at the American consulate or in its subsidiary Russian bank. You will also need to provide copies of all pages of your passport with translation.
Step 7
Report the opening of an account to the tax authorities at your place of residence. It's not worth pulling with this, try to do it within a month (this requirement is established by law).
