Opening a U.S. Personal Bank Account from Abroad

NFCU but you need a referral code of another member that vouches for you, as you are not in the Army.

You need US Address, phone number, ITIN and open an account using a VPN in the US.

I also have an account at Chase but for daily use I prefer NFCU, they also offer credit cards with security deposit that you can use to build history and later get a better one.

Well, it doesn't work, you still need a US residency.

Just the address?

No, US residency visa..

No, US residency visa..

For NFCU?

Not sure where you are from. But I guess there are plenty of users here that are banking in the US just on an ITIN without any issues (of course limted to the banks that accept ITIN for lending). I don't know any bank that would accept a US residency visa without a SSN as you are eligible for an SSN with such visa. And we all know that with a SSN you basically are open to anything in the US. There are very few credit unions that will still ask for more details and want to see your visa. In most of the cases, a SSN opens you all doors.

Yeah, but mostly they opened it in person, in the US.
