Its going to be very difficult these days.\nThe best way around the system is to open a trading account with an online stock broker, its just like a bank a/c, you can deposit/transfer and they even give you a ATM/debit card, and don't have to buy any stock or trade, nor go through the hassles of opening a bank a/c due to Patriot Act.\ncheck out www.etrade.com or similar co.\nGood Luck

You have to open an account first.

Everbank has accounts in foreign currencies. For example, you can open a CD in Euros.

Your best bet is to open an account in Europe, with one of the online banks. PayPal recognizes European accounts as well as US accounts.\n\nYou won't be able to obtain a US bank account without either a Social Security number, or a TIN from the IRS.\n\nBut, if you have a friend in the USA who can open an account for you, that would be the simplest way. Send him/her $20 to open an account.

You might have to go to an International Bank, and show proof of identification. Banks normally charge a higher fee to convert money

I am assuming you are asking for a mortgage for a house...\n\nThe answer is yes but it is a more difficult process than getting an incountry loan...\n\n Generally, the lender would need a business presence in the country that the property was in... your loan would be actually written by a branch  in the country of the property but could be signed, witnessed etc. in at a branch in the UK. Signing at possession of course would take place in the property's country, but you would want to be there to take possession anyways so that is less likely to be a concern...\n\nThere are other ways of getting an international mortgage but they are generally more troublesome and costly...

I'm sure it's possible, legal and safe but a normal bank will give you a hard time if you don't at least show up in person to open the account.  They'll also give you a hard time if you don't give them a SIN number.  Foreigners don't get SIN numbers - they get TIN numbers - they're the same thing basically so maybe the bank would be happy if you gave them one of those.

Many canadian banks have US branches where you can open an account. There are also some US banks that have branches in Canada

You can open an account with any bank if you have the money. As long as you dont have bad checks.

Yes it is.  All countries in the EU have similar identification requirements, although the forms you have to sign will be slightly different.  They cannot refuse you a bank account just because you're from the UK.

As far as i know, paypal do not require you to have a US physical address or US bank account.\n\nThey can transfer money to your country's bank account , anywhere in the world.\n\nthey do not offer service to some of the countries.\n\nanyway, you can check some of the following websites to accept payments. NO US physical address required, no us bank account required.\n\nwww.multicards.com\nwww.ccnow.com\nwww.2checkout.com\nwww.ipay.com\nwww.ibill.com\n\n2checkout.com is the best, with real time approval and quick payment processing.\n\ngive it a try.

Use proper English if you want people to help understand you. IF you don't give details, how do you expect someone to help you. I bet you are one of those who claim to have a large bank account frozen so you can transfer the money into a open account in the US to rob someone. Old trick. Give it up. They are not that many stupid people here.

There are a lot of international laws that govern these things.  I would contact a bank that works internationally and an international business lawyer to help you get setup.\n\nGood luck with your venture

Yes (Just open an account in ameritrade.com)

It should be.  Be careful, that sounds a lot like a scam that people in countries outside the US use to try and get your account number.
