[quote=Anonymous]Usually banks open accounts to anyone who is a resident of that country. Not a citizen, but a legal resident. For example, I'm French, and I've been able to open bank accounts in the USA no problem, but I've had trouble opening accounts in my own country, which is annoying, because I've been living in the US for 20 years, and EU banks now require residency to open bank accounts, to prevent money laundering. It's been a huge problem for all EU expatriates. My dual citizenship son was able to open a bank account in France when he was on his study abroad, however. Since he has a French accent and provided a signed affidavit that he lived with his grandparents in Paris, they didn't think to inquire whether he had actually lived long term in France. I don't think that was the intended use of the law, but it's such a stupid law that people are going to try to circumvent it. I imagine the USA wants to implement something similar. [/quote]
