How to Open a US Bank Account

Choosing a bank branch is the first step to opening an account. We recommend that you opt for larger banks so that you can find branches in other states more easily and they also offer diverse service options.

Opening a bank account doesn’t require just any ol’ documents. Besides a passport, it requires a proof of residence and another form of identification. It important to remember that there is a small, obligatory initial deposit, which can vary depending  on the laws as defined by each banking institution.

In the majority of banks, there is a possibility of making the account exempt from any maintenance fees. You can maintain a minimum balance, make monthly deposits and even, in some cases, the category of your account can qualify for an exemption when X number of transactions are debit or credit.
