How to open a US bank account from the Caribbean

[@iamstephenstanberry]

I help Jamaicans register their LLC in the US. I’ve worked in the business formation service for years so I know the best options so you don’t pay out a bunch of fees annually for your LLC. So anyone need my help can reach out to me with their questions

[@DemetressFairman]

Great 👍🏾, I’ll pin the comment so people who need it can see

[@mikematthews167]

How much do you charge for this service?

[@javaunsewell9213]

Your videos just keep on getting more dynamic and engaging.... Plus... I like the idea of a US bank acccount, lol.

[@DemetressFairman]

Respect 🙏🏾 just trying to make quality for you guys

[@pandathepanda4858]

Also, if you are in New York, you can apply for a state ID and that can be used for POA

I used an amazon invoice for something shipped to me at my cousin's address as proof of address.

The country you reside in, but do not change your nationality.

Boi Demetress, it look like you have access to my search history bcuz I was researching this last week. So thank you so much for this information! Btw, can I use my National ID (Voters ID) instead of a Driver's license?

Yes if it’s up to date, lol glad I could help

6:59 What is your strategy for mastering pull ups?

[@DemetressFairman]

Using a chair so I can reduce my body weight on the bar until I can do 5 controlled full pulls. Then progress from there

[@juniormarshallhastings723]

Can you do a pull up tutorial video using the chair method for us to see?

[@smiliekj]

What if a family member adds me as a joint account holder on their us accounts?

[@therealkash6682]

Question is it better to buy stocks through NCB or JMMB? If yes why

[@DemetressFairman]

I don’t think any is better, it’s just a preference and which ever is closer to you to set up the account. Jmmb however does have cheaper fees

Wait isn't citibank in jamaica? Yes delaware low corporate taxes & no sales tax

[@DemetressFairman]

Citibank in Jamaica is for corporations like banks, not the everyday man or business

[@sheensp4031]

Hey, curious, in the case of Citibank, what is the minimum amount needed to open an account?

[@DemetressFairman]

Not sure but based on my current chase account it took $100usd

[@sheensp4031]

Thank you 👍​@@DemetressFairman

[@user-yn4wy7iq7s]

Wise charges you more than 5% for large transfers ?

[@kaenja]

Quick question: Are you aware of any payment gateways that can be built into websites where the funds from customers will be deposited directly into a Jamaican bank account?

[@sharomeblackstock9556]

UPS sounds better the joint bill could set immigration in Jamaica on you

The biggest mistake I made was closing my Bank of America account when I was done with work and travel

[@noneyuh7069]

Bank of America in New York Requires you to be a green card holder/citizen….not sure of the other banks.

[@DemetressFairman]

Not so sure of that because I did mine and a friend also just did theirs and we aren’t citizens or green card holders

[@xcx23cwea65]

But wouldn't a US bank account make Caribbean nationals liable to the IRA Taxes and extradition if found suspected of... Just asking

[@astonallen2628]

The bank where you open the account should have you fill out a Form W-8BEN declaring your non-resident status thereby exempting you from US taxation.

[@TeaTimeWithT8]

Love yuh fi dis! ♥️ mi did ave a wellsfargo and it close down and I went to another state to open a BOA and dem say me affi have proof of address.

[@truelifewhitney]

Thank you so much 🎉

[@DemetressFairman]

You’re welcome 😊

[@MrNelson231]

Its easier for a Jamaican citizen to open a US bank account, than it is for that same Jamaican to open a Jamaican bank account. SMDH.

[@DemetressFairman]

Only thing different is the reference I think and in some cases American banks too ask for references like place of work.

[@MrNelson231]

@@DemetressFairman Not really. I have multiple bank accounts across different providers and never once asked for proof of employment, or references. American banks also don't as for recent tax history, but if a returning resident needs an account, then he or she must provide tax documents from the foreign country of residence. A driver's license should be all you need to set up a bank account.

[@orvilleblack3774]

What’s the benefit of opening an US account in the USA as to opening a US account in any JA bank?

[@DemetressFairman]

Receiving payment from US companies and also making payments, most US ja accounts only allow saving and if you spend it converts to Ja so you lose value

[@orvilleblack3774]

Get contract cellphone for proof of address.

Good idea o

[@drazzking22]

You cannot get a cellphone contract in your name, without a social. You can get prepaid, but with that you don’t need a social or even an address. You get it in any name. You could even say your name is a dog or a cat.😂😂

​@juniormarshallhastings723 the bank account is yours you have wire transfer you have the card you can do withdrawals at ATM Internationallly. Just call the bank and tell them your traveling. Revoked visa doesn't affect your bank funds unless your travel to work and you owe taxes and other crazy reasons.
