How to Create a US Bank Account for Non-Residents for Free: A Step-by-Step Guide

Hey there, Roladel business aficionados! Today, I've got something exciting to share with you. Ever wondered how to snag a US bank account as a non-resident, sans the hassle and hefty paperwork? Well, you're in luck because I've got the lowdown on exactly that.

In this video, I'm going to walk you through a simple, hassle-free method to create a US bank account that can receive payments in euros, pounds, and dollars—all for free. No more minimum deposits or mountains of documents. Just a straightforward process that'll have you up and running in no time.

So, why should you care about having a US bank account, you ask? Well, aside from the convenience it offers, these accounts open up a world of opportunities for international transactions. Plus, you'll be able to sell your dollars and pounds at favorable rates, even if you're based in a country like Nigeria.

Let's break it down. The standard CBN rate for $1 is currently at 415 naira, while £1 fetches around 540 naira. However, with the US bank account I'm about to show you how to create, you can sell $1 for even more. That means more profit in your pocket, just by leveraging currency differentials.

But enough talk, let's get into the nitty-gritty of setting up your US bank account. First things first, head over to grey.co on your browser. This platform offers foreign accounts for Africans, allowing you to open a global bank account for free, with the ability to receive and make foreign payments in multiple currencies.

Once you're on the Grey website, click on "Get Started" to kick off the account creation process. You'll need to fill in some basic details, including your full legal name, phone number, and email address. Remember, accuracy is key here, as you'll need to verify your identity later on.

After confirming your email, it's time to complete the verification process. Follow the prompts to upload photos of documents proving your identity, such as your international passport or driver's license, and record a short selfie video for added security.

With verification out of the way, you'll need to add a bank card to your Grey account. This will serve as your funding source for transactions. Next, navigate to the "Account" section and request virtual accounts in USD, euros, and pounds. Be prepared to submit proof of address documentation for this step.

Once your accounts are approved, you'll be ready to start receiving payments in multiple currencies, straight to your Grey account. Keep an eye on your balances and watch your earnings grow—all thanks to your new US bank account.

And there you have it, folks! A simple, hassle-free way to create a US bank account for non-residents, right from the comfort of your own home. If you found this video helpful, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to Roladel business for more tips and tricks.
