Opening a Bank Account in the USA with ITIN without SSN
Opening a bank account in the USA without an SSN is entirely possible if you have a valid ITIN. This option is particularly relevant for individuals with temporary status (TPS), freelancers, entrepreneurs, foreign investors, and new immigrants. Legal assistance in this process guarantees not only quick document processing but also compliance with bank requirements and protection of your rights.
What is included in the service of opening a bank account with ITIN?
The comprehensive service includes:

Why should you consult a lawyer to open an account with ITIN?

- Prevents risks associated with errors in document submission
- Ensures your actions comply with financial and immigration rules
- Guarantees confidentiality and legal transparency of transactions

- Submits the application with you or on your behalf where permitted
- Corresponds with the bank if questions or delays arise

In some cases, the lawyer's address may be provided for temporary correspondence.
