STEP 1: Important
The success on opening this account depends on a number of factors:

Like most of the bak accounts you need to contact the bank directly by phone. You also need to speak fluent english so be prepared or ask for someone that can help you.
This is what I needed to open the account (be aware that the bank can ask for more document if they need it on your particular case)
- Fax
- Scanner
- Copy and scanned image of my passport, ID document and driving licence.
- Copy and scanned image of my credit cards, VISA and Mastercard
- US based address
- Money for the first deposit (Normally $100)
Once you have this you can contact customer service at 800-432-1000 on Florida.
Steps to open Bank of America account:
Deposit/Withdrawals
You can receive direct ceposit via ACH from PayPal, 2Checkout or even direct payments from customers in US. Simply use the next information:
- Account Number
- Routing Number
- Bank account
You can make withdrawals from any VISA ATM worldwide. ATMs charges fees. Try to know this to avoid surprises.
I always prefer to use modern ATMs on which you don’t need to insert your card, but simply slide it on a reader. By this I avoid the risk that an ATM take my card by mistake.
