We have a bank that has assisted us with this for other clients. go77306 10-07-2002, 07:23 PM Originally posted by TeleSouthNet Yes it is very possible.

I want to use PayPal as my payment gateway, their fees are listed below: Withdraw Funds: Free for U.S. bank accounts, Fees for international banks Add Funds: Free for U.S. bank accounts, Fees for international banks So what I meant is to get a US bank account, not to get US dollar account, I have us dollar account at Royal Bank. (or maybe I misunderstood PayPal's statement?)

You may want to call Bank One as I think they can even set one up for you over the phone. freakysid 10-16-2002, 09:48 PM Don't try to set one up with www.thebancorp.com - although their website suggested you could apply as a foreigner, when I did, they emailed me saying that because of the new "Patriot Act" they can't process my account and they couriered my opening deposit cheque back to me by overnight fedex. sergio 10-19-2002, 08:30 AM Originally posted by multipleimage Setting up a Bank Acct in the US is not too difficult.

But you can send money without a fee to providers, for example. |
