To open an account in an American bank, foreigners need to bring their passports or driver's licenses, as long as they can prove their identity. When Americans open an account, it is often husband and wife, sister or father and son who open an account. Otherwise, it will be difficult for other households to withdraw money if one person encounters an accident or goes out of town.
The documents required for opening an account are as follows:
1. Passport
2. ID card or driver's license.
3. Social security card.
