Hi Tzook (Ahalan), 

Opening a US bank w/o stepping into a branch is currently not possible to do (terror and money laundering are the reason).

If you plan to visit the US than you can go into a branch and do so. 

You may be able to use your paypal.

Many times bank is not a MUST have but a nice to have when it comes to investing - but may vary based on your needs. 

If you have a relative who's willing to open you an account under his name it would be a possibility.
