Hi Alina,

Not sure if you're doing your projects individually or through an entity. I use Wise for my entity. They could probably individuals too. Thus far it works well. I'm a foreign national.

Hi Alina, If you do not have an SSN, you might need to explore alternatives, such as using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) if applicable or working with a bank that accepts non-resident accounts. Please feel free to send me a DM. I have worked with many foreign investors that I can connect you with for more specific questions. Here are suggestions for banks: Wells Fargo: Wells Fargo offers the "Everyday Checking Account" for non-resident aliens. They accept a valid passport as identification.

Bank of America: Bank of America provides an "Advantage Banking" account for non-resident aliens. They might require a valid passport and additional documentation.

Citibank: Citibank offers "Access Account" and "Basic Banking" options for non-resident aliens. They may request a valid passport and other identification documents.

Chase Bank: Chase provides a "Chase Secure Banking" option for non-resident aliens. They might require a valid passport and proof of legal presence.

TD Bank: TD Bank offers accounts for non-resident aliens. They might request a valid passport, foreign driver's license, or other forms of identification.

PNC Bank: PNC Bank offers "Standard Checking" and "Virtual Wallet" options for non-resident aliens. They may ask for a valid passport and proof of address.

HSBC: HSBC offers international banking services for non-resident aliens. They might have specific requirements based on your home country.

Santander Bank: Santander provides banking options for non-resident aliens. They may require a valid passport and additional documentation.
