Can a foreigner visiting the USA open a bank account? -

Next year I am visiting the United States for a couple of weeks. As a foreigner, am I able to open a bank account in the USA?

Yes you actually can. Bank of America, for instance, doesn t require an SSN when opening an account. All you have to do is show them a valid ID, which in your case would be your passport.

why would you need to open an account for just a couple of weeks, just transfer money from your current bank.

no
