Official: Bank of America brightens the day for many who need this account, solved

Bank of America deserves applause: it offers real help to those arriving in the United States and looking for the perfect account. International students, foreign tourists, and visitors without an SSN or ITIN can now open an account with ease.

For many, opening a bank account seemed impossible without an SSN (Social Security Number) or an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). However, Bank of America changes everything. Unlike other banks, neither number is required here.

Bank of America gives excellent news to its visitors: easy and fast

Foreign students and visitors must deal with difficult procedures: exchanging money, paying rent, making purchases. Having an account gives them independence. They can use a card, avoid fees, and access online services without the hassle of an SSN or ITIN.

International students have an extra advantage, as Bank of America allows them to open an account with just a passport. In addition, they must present another form of identification such as a student ID, foreign driver's license, etc., and proof of address in the US and in their home country. This allows them to pay tuition, rent, and use their money conveniently and without high fees.

For foreign tourists, it is similar: even if they do not have an SSN or ITIN, they can open an account if they bring their passport, a secondary ID (such as a license or foreign bank card), and proof of address. It is also necessary to go in person; everything can't be done online.

Bank of America makes it very easy to open an account

First, gather the documents: passport, second ID (license, card, student ID), proof of address in the US (rental contract, bill, university letter), and proof of foreign address. If you have an ITIN or FTIN, bring it, but it is not required.

Next, schedule an in-person appointment at a Bank of America financial center. You can't open an account online if you do not have an SSN or ITIN. At the branch, submit the documents and complete the form.

Make an initial deposit (usually between USD 25 and USD 100 depending on the type of account, such as SafeBalance or Advantage Plus). Once the account is opened, you will have access to mobile banking, a debit card, and all the bank's digital tools.

With just your passport, international students, foreign tourists, and non-residents can open an account without complications. Through this service, Bank of America solves a real problem and helps many.
