How to Open a Wells Fargo Bank Account

How to Open a Wells Fargo Bank Account

Here I'll explain how to open an account with Wells Fargo. This account is NOT easy to open and we do not offer any kind of support or customer service on this.

To open the account as a foreigner (technically refer as non-resident alien), you need to go to http://www.wellsfargo.com/ipb/ IPB stands for International Personal Banking.

Basically what you need to do is
Go to the above page and fill up the online application form
When you have completed the form, you will need to print out the form.
You will also be given another few forms to print out, including the signature card and the service agreement
You will have to prepared the most recent 3 months bank statements and 2 bank reference letters from your local bank.
You will need to verified your signature and this is the hardest part. Please read carefully.

To verify your signature, it has to be done by one of these three ways:
SWIFT message type 199 send by your bank.
Signature verified by San Francisco IPB office or Hong Kong IPB office.
Signature notarized by US Embassy or Consulate.

For choice #1, You have to go to your local bank and ask for them to help you send a SWIFT message type 199. Not all the banks can do this and you probably have to speak with a very proffesional representative to help you whit this service.

For choice #2, if you live in Hong Kong, this will be good for you. If you live near San Francisco, you do not need to verify your signature because you can visit any wells fargo bank directly since you are already in the US!

For choice #3, this seems like the only 'slightly' more convenient way to do so. Given that you live near the consulate. It will cost you a fee to certify your document (should be around USD$20 per document). Usually, you will need to drop off your document at the embassy and come back to collect it a few days later.

Please be aware that Wells Fargo service agreement stated that you can not use the bank account for PayPal and other eCommerce solution. Make sure you read it carefully.

The aproximatly cost to open a Wells Fargo Account will be:

1. Money paid to get your 2 bank reference letters ($15 x 2 = $30)
2. Money paid to certify your signature ($20 to $30)
3. Money paid to get your 3 months bank statement if you didn't
keep it ($10 x 3 = $30)
4. Petrol/Parking/Travel cost when you go to the banks and the
embassy.

Remember, this information is a free bonus, for this reason and due to the difficult procedure on open this account. We do not offer any kind of guarantees or support service about this.

If you need any assistance on this regards, please contact Wells Fargo directly at www.wellsfargo.com

How to Open your own US Bank Account

Welcome,

Here you can view all the information and details
you need to know to open your own US Bank account
as a non resident.

Ok. First things first.

First, you'll need to know the name of the bank. Your U.S. bank account will be open in:

E*TRADE Financial

E*TRADE Financial owns E*Trade Bank and E*Trade Securities.

This bank is one of the most respected banks around the world. It provides excellent customer service.

You can visit their web site in www.etradebank.com, BUT WAIT, don't try to open your account yet.

You have to fill the right forms and do all the process correctly for your account to be open.

The first "secret" you should know is that for opening your account you will not have to contact E*Trade Bank but E*Trade Securities, LLC.

e*Trade Securities

E*TRADE Securities, LLC is a member of the SIPC. They are a separate company but affiliated with E*TRADE Bank.

By working with E*Trade Securities you will be able to have banking services with all the benefits.

First, you don’t have to ask for a checking or saving account. This types of accounts can not be opened as non-resident.

So, you will have to ask for a brokerage account.

A brokerage account can be used as a checking account, you will not received interest on your balance, but you will have the choice to make stock investments and other normal checking accounts actions (like checks, make transfer, etc.)

Here is a sample of the welcome pack you will receive (The VISA card as to be requested after you open your account).

The bank will send you the welcome pack along with your bank account number and password for on line banking via normal mail service.

Your bank account will be open 2 to 3 days after the bank received your application. The welcome pack will arrive in around 2 to 7 weeks after the bank receive your applications.

You can always contact the bank to see if your bank account has been open without receiving the welcome pack. More information on this later.

Fill your forms

As a non-US resident you will need to fill out the following forms:

#1 Your bank account application

* Please note it's necessary to print out and fill in / sign the last page of this form ( the form will be sent to your email after registeration ) . click here now to start applying for Etrade Brokerage account .

#2 Your withholding tax form

* You are required to include this form with your application form above.

- You can download the forms from our servers here .

- You can download the forms from the bank web site here, and

Here you have the sample forms to guide yourself.

Be aware that tax will not be withheld from your deposits. Tax is only withheld if you make a profit on an investment made through E*Trade.

Now lets see were you have to send the forms...

Send your forms

Mail both forms along with a photocopy of your passport or national photo ID to the address below:
E*TRADE Securities LLC
P.O. Box 1542
Merrifield, VA 22116-1542
USA

If you want to use Fedex or DHL service, you will probably need to use this address (without a P.O. Box):
E*Trade Securities LLC
671, N. Glebe Road,
11th Floor,
Arlington, VA - 22203
USA

You can confirm this information from the bank web site here . Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Residents May send their application to ..
US Account Applications
E*TRADE Securities Limited
42nd Floor
One Canada Square
London E14 5AA, UK

Lets continue...

Your checkbook

2 to 3 days after the bank as received your forms, you can call or email E*Trade and request your checkbook before you receive your welcome kit.

You can even request it before any funds have been deposited into your account. Simply call E*Trade on 1-916-636-2510. The mail for customer service is service@etrade.com

Or you can wait to request a check book after you receive your welcome pack.

Remember that you are opening a "E*trade Securities Brokerage Account". If you simply ask for a bank account they are not going to help you.

You can ask for your account details at this time and login to your bank account on line.

There is no need to wait for your welcome pack to access your account and deposit funds.

Ok, keep going...

Your initial deposit

The bank will open your account even if you don't send any deposit with your forms. However you can fund your account by including a $1,000 US check or US money order with your applications.

Or...

After you have received your account number, you can fund it in any amount via your PayPal, 2Checkout.com or any other account that can send ACH transfers (direct deposits).

The minimum deposit needed to open a cash brokerage account is $1,000 while the minimum to open a margin account and begin trading is $2,000.

You can also wire funds from your home bank account, in any amount.

Instructions on wire transfers can be found updated in the bank web site. (Remember you have to follow the instructions on how to wire money to your E*TRADE Securities account)


Your VISA Platinum Debit card

Remember that you will need to have at least US$ 1000 in your account to ask for your debit card.

You can send the application included in your welcome pack, or you can order it from the bank web site.

Next is a example of the actual VISA Platinum debit card and checkbook.

If you need to take money from Paypal, Adsense, 2Checkout or other similar system and don't have $1000 to make a deposit, I suggest you to visit our Debit & Virtual Cards Section

Anyway, now you can see how to send money from your Paypal account (or a similar system) to your Bank Account.....

How to send money from Paypal

To receive ACH transfers (direct deposits) from Paypal, 2Checkout or any other service. Just use the following details.
Bank name: ETRADE BANK
Routing number: 056073573
Account number: This is your personal account number
Account type: Checking Account

*Remember that doing an ACH (direct transfer) is different than a wire transfer. A wire transfer (usually used for International Transfers) has a different routing number. You can see this number updated in your bank's web site.

You can always confirm the direct deposit information from the bank web site.

That's it. You have done it.

Enjoy banking in the US!!!

Dollarat online guide teaches you how to open your own US
Bank Account as a Non- US resident ... using just a copy of
your Passport ..

After September 11 and the laws promulgated in the US
Patriot Act , opening a US bank Account as non resident
became almost impossible . Here you have found a simple
solution for Non - US Residents to easily open a US Bank
Account . In Just 2 minutes you could have what you need
to open your US Bank Account .



Why do you want a US Bank Account?

If you are selling using PayPal, E.Bay, 2Checkout, StormPay
or any other common payment service, you know how
expensive and time consuming is to get your funds in your
country Getting checks emailed to you can cost anywhere
from USD$ 5,00 to USD$ 30,00 plus the charges that your
local bank will take for the international deposit.

There are some services that wire the money to your local
bank but there are not cheap, if available But the most
important of all problems... THE TIME. It can take weeks or
even months to see your money. Specially if you sell
ocassionally and your payment service have a high
minimum required before send you the checks
(PayPal requires USD$ 150,00 plus USD$ 12,00 for
mailing costs.

Let's face it

-If you use PayPal or Ebay to make some money
occasionally . You need a US Bank Account
-If you have, or want to have, clients in the U.S . You need a
US Bank Account
-If you want to make serious business in the Internet . You
need a US Bank Account

*Now there are 3 ways you can open an account in
the US :

1-How to Open an US Bank Account -Expensive Method .

You can search in your local city if there is banks that gives
this service. In many countries they ask for tons of papers
and references. And a minimum deposit from USD$ 2000,00
to even USD$ 10000,00 (Yes, you read it right, ten thou-
sands!).

I don't think this is the best way.

2-How to Open an US Bank Account - Never ending Method.
You can also spend weeks and months researching in the
internet. Looking site after site, asking bank after bank ,
making phone calls and sending emails .

Banks will give you answer like this:

"You need a Social Security Number."
"You need a US Address."
"You need notarized documents."
"You need to come to US to sign some papers."

Some people spent months.... that's right, MONTHS trying to
find out how to open a US Bank Account fast and without
all the problems. I personallyspend over eight months
until I could figure it out.... so, this is not a good way
either.

Finally, if you are lucky enough to get in this web site,

3- How to Open an US Bank Account - The right way

Simply get all the information in less than 2 minutes.
Fill up the forms and send it to the bank along with
your passport.

(¡You don't have to send me anything )

In 7 days you will have your bank account in the US.

That simple.

Now, that's a good way to do it.

And here are some other reasons to open a US Bank
Account for non-residents:

1- Receive payments from USA citizens easy and fast. Plus,
you can use the money right away.
2-Transfer your money from PayPal and take it out from
any VISA ATM machine

- You can open your account just with a copy of your
passport .

SECURE .
- You can have your account with NO Deposit/Withdrawal
MINIMUMS ...

The Importance of a US Bank Account for a Non-Resident

Here in this article, I am going to show you how important it is to have a US Bank account even as a non-resident and how you can go on to have your first account with a US Bank.

As an Internet Marketer or someone trying to make money online, having a US Bank account can make a lot of differences. For instance you can easily receive all your payments from companies abroad, most of whom are in the US, by way of Automated Cleaning House (ACH) / Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) method. This transfer method is free in most cases and takes 2-3 business days for you to have the money deposited to your US Bank account.

Imagine the other way!

You are a non- resident of US. You don't have a US Bank account. All your receipts / payments would be made to you by way of cheques. The cheque is cut and mailed to you in your home country. Depending in which country / continent you are located, it could take 2-4 weeks to reach you - that is if it does not get missing in transit.

When you get your cheque, you would deposit it with your local Bank in your country. Your local Bank collects the cheque and mail it back to the US, to be collected through her correspondent Bank or Agents. Depending on your location, this could take 2-4 weeks to reach and another 2-3 business days to clear. Look at the time frame involved (4-8 weeks) to get your money.

And for all I know, the cheque could be for an amount ranging from $60 -$200. The local Bank in your country which helps you to collect your fund would change you a fixed amount of $25 - $45. And $60 less $25, you have $35 left. Scary? Yes, and that is the reality on ground.

In a year's time, if you get 20-30 cheques from various companies, imagine how much you would be paying. You cannot draw a US Bank cheque / Draft unless you have to go through your local Bank and so on. You can therefore imagine how frustrating not having a US Bank account can be , if you are tying to make money online.

So what is the choice?

You need and must have a US Bank account, even though you are not resident there. But it is almost "impossible" now, with the war on terror and the Patriot Act. But there is a way that it could be done.

Let us look briefly at how you can set up a US Bank account as non-resident of US.

First option is that you set up a company, incorporate one and have an office presence in the United States. Very expensive option you know! How many of us can afford this?

Second option is have someone do it for you for a fee ranging from $400-$800. Expensive also.

Third option is buy info on this. They are a few good Reports that will show you how to do this by yourself. The price for the Reports ranges from $20 - $97. This was the option that I used to get my own US bank account.

Whichever option that you decide to follow is entirely up to you. You can do some searching at a place like Google.

You could pay for the information or get a company or someone to do it for you at a fee. It depends on you and your pocket. You do not need to incorporate a US Company before you can get a US Bank account. That is an expensive approach.

So go ahead and get your own US Bank account now. Do not wait until tomorrow as the laws are constantly changing. What is possible today may not be possible tomorrow. ACT fast. Good Luck.
