http://www.citibank.com have one, but i.e for UK citizen to get US Bank account, you must deposit £2,000.00, and earn £30,000.00 minimum per year. Deposit balance must not drop below the initial £2000.00

You could look into registering a business in Delaware. I think you can use an agent to process the whole thing without you having to physically visit the state. It should be possible to get a bank account for the business then.

Couple of links:
Incorporating in Deleware (http://www.state.de.us/corp/corp.htm)
Deleware site (http://www.delaware.gov)

Someone on those sites should be able to answer your questions.

Another possibility is Nevada, which I hear is easier for foreigners.
Nevada site (http://silver.state.nv.us/)
Incorporation Links (http://sos.state.nv.us/comm_rec/index.htm)
Nevada's site seems less organized to me :)

For non-US citizens wanting a US bank account, a great option is to form a Nevada corporation. You can hold 100% of the shares in the company and be a non-US citizen, or even anonymous.

Your corporation would then be able to own a bank account at any US bank.

PM me if you need assistance incorporating. I can help for incorporating in any of the 50 states.

I have my bank account opened with hsbc usa for two months now. I used Easy Corp Ltd to get this account opened and it was done within one month. Maybe it can help... this is totally free banking with HSBC.

They also opened me a personal bank account in a private bank in New York. I got online banking, visa debit card and even a american express gold with them.

That sounds really interesting, how would that work as far as taxes go?
