US Bank Accounts

The HSBC have a strong presence in Western New York, and in particular Buffalo. An account with this bank will assist in mortgage applications, as they are internationally recognised. Clients need to open a UK HSBC account, and then at this time request the application forms for a US checking account in Buffalo, NY. Many members of staff have not been trained in handing out advice for this, as it wasn’t a well known request, until now. There is now a waiting list to open a checking account in the USA, so please bear this in mind. Do not open an offshore international account, as this will not provide the service you need. If you have any problems then make a call to the HSBC UK International banking centre can be made on 0207 991 7278. Ask to speak to a supervisor about opening a USA checking account in Buffalo, New York.

There is another option. Opening a www.citibank.co.uk UK based US dollar current account also works. Click on current accounts on that website and follow instructions.
