go to a bank and ask them. Your best bet will be Bank of America as far as foreign accounts.

Your question isn't clear.  Are you looking to be able to open an account with anything EXCEPT a wire transfer?\n\nMost online brokers can open your account with a direct withdrawal from a checking account.\n\nEdit: Thanks for the update.  Most can do a direct withdrawal (ACH) from your checking or savings account.  TD Ameritrade is who I use and it is easy to move money in and out of my account electronically with no fees (ACH).

You can! even you are not residing in the USA. Visit http://www.usa-bank-acount.us/ and they will open your account with a Miami branch at Suntrust Bank.

You need to get a license to bank for your state.  In nj you can obtain this through the state and letting the state hold 750k in an escrow account to assure your libality for banking.  I'm not sure what it is in Pa.  \nYou might want to look in to opening a branch for an already existing company.

To get a debit card, you have to have a checking account.  The debit card is given to you though your bank you have the account with.  \n\nTo open a checking account, all you need is some cash to start the account.  Most checking accounts have a minimum deposit to start or charge you monthly fees.  \n\nJust to be clear, you do understand what a debit card is, right?  It directly withdraws money from your checking account.  It's like a checkbook in that sense.  So, if you don't have any money, a debit card isn't going to do you any good.

If you are unable to open a charge account anywhere, open a savings account at your bank or credit union and as soon as you have $200 saved, borrow $200 using your savings as your collateral.  Be sure to make every payment on time.  Use the bank or credit union as a credit reference to open an account elsewhere.  You might need to do this more than once to establish a credit HISTORY, but your bank will be more than happy to help you get started.  If you are eligible to join a credit union, they offer even more services and are often more "personal" and helpful.  Good luck!

Don't know the answer for UK companies and/or citizens, but as a US citizen living in Japan too, I managed to open an account at a firm listed on this site:\n\nhttp://www.broker-reviews.us/foreign.shtml\n\nYou can get around the non-US address incompatibility with US address input fields in several ways:\n\n1) For those who offer two address inputs (i.e. "Permanent" and "Mailing") input each US and non-US address, and synchronise the addresses online once your account is established.\n\n2) Don't apply for the account online; rather print the form and handwrite and/or call the customer service rep for assistance (which is good way to test the customer service quality of your intended brokerage)

You need a bank account or credit/debit card.

You don't need an American bank account to have a PayPal account.  I used to work in banking but with the recent additions to the Patriot Act in screening foreign accounts, it got so complicated that I don't remember.  You might try an online account like ING Direct or Citibank.  You would be given a routing number and account number from the US and everything would be calculated in US dollars.  I've been using both banks for a long time and am very happy with the online convenience.

Anyone can do business in US with no requirement to be physically present here. Of course, registration, license etc are required.\n\nGenerally you will need to register in every state where you intend to do "business" (e.g. recruit employees, open shop or other physical presence, not including internet or remote sales). Otherwise it is sufficient to register in a single state out of the 50 states.\n\n(1) Pick a state. Most foreign companies pick Delaware\n\n(2) Get incorporated (either as corporation or LLC etc). \n\nIf you do not want it as a corporation but only as a sole proprietorship, you don't have to incorporate. But you can rent an office in any city, go to that city office and get a business license with that address.\n\n(3) If it is a corporation you will need a separate tax id (Also known as entity identification number). You can telephone IRS and they will assign one. For sole prop you can file taxes with personal income tax. \n\n(4) If you incorporate in Delaware and also keep a physical presence in Delaware you won't need a separate certificate from the DE state. IF you incorporate in Delaware and rent an office space in California, you will need a separate "certificate of qualification" from CA state, as a "foreign corporation" (foreign in the sense of another state, not country). You will pay taxes to CA state and not DE State (Where you pay only franchise taxes for shares and no business income tax).\n\nGenerally companies located overseas incorporate in Delaware, and also open a virtual office in Delaware through "Registered Agent" who helps you incorporate. It costs about $500 for one time incorporation, and a recurring cost of $200 or so each year to maintain legal active status it in Delaware. (Figures are approximate).  OFfice space costs are extra.\n\nThe other alternate would be finding a "partner" company that imports your product and markets it in US.\n\nYou will need to decide if you want to go alone or find a partnering company. \n\nImporting gold may invoke custom duties.\n\nOften each segment of a business US is outsourced to expert companies. Importing company could be different from marketing and sales company.\n\nHope the writeup helps a bit. Good Luck on your plans.

No you cannot. You have to reside in the USA and have a social security number, local employer and tax info\n\nhttps://wwwna.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/AccountApServlet?segment=ameritrade&ea=y#null

use paypal. they'll convert it for you, and take it right from her/his checking/banking account and put it in your checking/banking account. just you and him/her both need an account, which is super easy to get.

depends on where you are.For example, in Hong Kong you  can open a PNB account though i'm not sure about BPI. In Singapore, you cant for both. In US or western countries I doubt it cuz they have less coverage unless you want to open an OCBC or HSBC account instead, they have more coverage worldwide and they have main branches in Phil too.\n\nFor a joint account i dont think they allow it cuz you need to be with your son in the same place/branch at the moment you're openin the account. You can either ask them to open a personal time deposit or personal savings account. Savings have interest gain too but very small. Then you can bank in money from where you are through remittances. For interest rates on time deposit, can vary from time to time you should check with the bank itself.\n\nPostcriptum: If you're working abroad you might want to consider openin a US dollar account, more stable than peso in the long term if you're doing time deposit, you might have greater returns too.\n\n\nPhil is Philippines.  General Luis and Novaliches are provinces in Philippines, pretty much like the equivalent of Fujian and Guangdong in China... s.hit i gotta get out of this continent...

To open a bank account, you have to fill up a form. You will also have to bring a signature of any person who is an account holder in that bank as a suerity of yours. Other docs are photo id, address proff, etc. The minimum balane in State Bank of India is 500 INR (Make it sure)\nwww.statebankofindia.com\nwww.bankofbaroda.com
