Opening a bank account in the USA
Hi
We have just got back and I don’t know why we didn’t go when we were there, but I would like to open a account over there. Is there anyway you can open one online? If not has anyone got a UK dollar account like with hsbc etc many thanks |

I have one with Barclays and I also have a Euro account. Really straightforward to open

It’s not a dollar account Per-Se but look at Starling and see if that fits the bill

I opened a SunTrust account last year, but I did it in person when I was in Orlando.

I have done both, but with my Sun-Trust account I set it up in Person while in Orlando.
I have HSBC Business Current accounts in Sterling / EURO / USD, easily setup I just popped in made and appointment with an account manager and away you go. You can apply for cards for each currency as they will have their own Bank Account Numbers. I have mine setup as I'm usually paid in EURO or USD so instead of getting paid by X company I've completed work for and then relying on them / their bank to convert by their exchange rates at the end of each invoiced month I just do it myself when the rates are favorable. Alternatively, if you're just wanting an account for holidays, personally I'd look for a Credit card which offers 0% foreign charges when abroad, I have 2 through Halifax and Barclaycard and I only ever use them when travelling.
