Informacja z Chase:

"Important information about procedures for opening a new account:
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions
to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person
who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for you
name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us
to identify you. We may also ask for copies of your driver's license or
other identifying documents.

All new account relationships with Chase International Financial
Services must be opened in person by the account holder. Accounts can be
opened at any Chase location"

I NAJWAZNIEJSZA CZESC:

"Can I open an account if I am a non-resident and live outside of the
United States?
Yes, you can if the laws of your locality permit it. You can be a U.S.
citizen or a citizen of another country. Go to Account Opening for easy
step-by-step instructions. "


Info z Wells Fargo:
"International Personal Banking
For U.S. Citizens or non-U.S. citizens living abroad, interested in U.S.
dollar services"

"Are you a U.S. citizen living abroad (expatriate) or preparing to live
abroad? Or a FOREIGN NATIONAL moving to or living outside of the United
States? You can take full advantage of the value and stability of the
U.S. dollar (USD) products and services offered by Wells Fargo"

"If you're living abroad, and you have a Social Security Number (SSN) or
Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), you can open an account
from your home country and have your USD funds reside with Wells Fargo
in the U.S."

Jak mowilem "repetitive wire transfer" w Wells Fargo do Citi w Polsce
kosztuje tylko $10 (normalna oplata to chyba $15) gdyz przelew idzie
przez Citi w Nowym Jorku i Wells Fargo traktuje to jako przelew krajowy.
"Standardowa" oplata za przelew miedzynardowy to chyba $35 o przy
"repetitive" $25


"Wire transfer" z Washington Mutual do Polski kosztuje $45. Twierdza, ze
niezaleznie od tego jak przelew idzie.
