Forums > Living in Kunming > advice on opening an american bank account online

eeks! i just want to invest a few thousand dollars of my savings and have an brokerage and bank account with an atm i can operate online.

i have such a setup now but was informed by the company's minions that i may not be able to keep the account open, even though i have had it since the 90's and have not lived in the states much since then...

so i just wonder how other american citizens with relatively small chunks of money they want to keep invested in dollars go about doing it. i want a long-term, completely legal, and as simple as possible solution as i cannot know for sure when or if i may live in the u.s. again and have and may continue to live in more than one country.

i am just a regular kinda working guy earning nominal sums of money who loves to travel and is good at saving money. :)

thanks for your condescending reply. 0_o

i already have an online brokerage of the type you suggested but am seeking one which specifically caters to non-resident american citizens.

i guess you are not aware that most online banks and brokerage firms are not permitted to accept investments from non-resident americans and maintain their accounts.

hence what i am enquiring about is whether anyone on this forum knows of a company which is designed to accept money and allow investments from non-resident american citizens. =)

thanks. there's no time for her to apply for studying in march in kunming due to the university holidays.

so what if she comes to kunming next month on a tourist visa and then enrolls in a university. does she have to leave china to change her visa or can she take care of the needed paperwork in kunming?

thanks again. =)
