its is not possible to open a US bank account outside of the USA.
You also need a SS# and State ID
Let me know what you are trying to do and maybe I can advise you

In the UK it is easy and they can serve the same purpose. I do Energy and Agriculture Brokerage to hire a vessel i needed the account.
Their rules stipulates that every registered entity has to be tax and monitored by customs i liased with an agent; after registration (it is more expensive than Nigeria but the process is very easy) they gave me a bank and its documents. Took me about 4 - 7 months to complete. Postage, courier and all

I don't think it is difficult as such except for the cost of opening the accounts and you may not need Social Security someone referred to earlier. For instance, you can open a US account with HSBC and UK with Barclays but each one I tried last needs at least 5,000 dollars or pounds opening balance. I was lucky to open my US bank account with zero balance in 2006/7 when I did and the bank even disapproved my application because of my Nigerian country of origin. After some weeks they wrote back to say they re-considered me and then my free visa card, checkbook came in the postal mails. I even requested and got my hardware token (like GTB type) and my visa card was replaced after expiration; all these services at no single cent cost to me. They always use Fedex to courier my stuff all free of charge. Sometimes they returned last year because of wrong address delivery yet, they will return at my request without charge. I got all that with zero account balance except for few months ago when I tried sending money to it to test my GTB domiciliary account transfer. I use to have money in it when I linked it to my paypal and bought things from the US. But it was on balance since around 2008 until last year without penalty. I just discovered I could even fund my US account through my UK moneybookers instantly from my GTB naira mastercard but I do not want to put my foreign currency outside for now but rather into my GTB dom, or Zenith dom or better still Union dom which is better.

I have other US bank accounts that are basically linked to my US-issued cards. It has banking details and internet banking access. I mean physical cards with bank accounts linked and not just virtual. I think it's easier with UK anyway as they will not ordinarily ask you for Social security that US will ask.

pls can u help me open moneybooker account?
Re: Us Bank Account by arbitrage: 7:30pm On Aug 28, 2012
moneybookers/skrill account opening is free but the challenge like paypal is that nigeria may not be accepted unless you will hide your ip address.

that's where i need ur help. Are u nt in Nigeria?
Re: Us Bank Account by arbitrage: 10:22am On Aug 29, 2012
that means if it is opened for u, u will never access it yourself since ur access is nigerian. That wont be good for u to av account that u cant use ursef. I suggest u get the ip hide software or vpn b4 u open it. Some guys are selling it here. I access my skrill account from work when in nigeria cos my company and internet are not nigerian. I also av those hide ip browser and software at home if i want to use but i dont access it at home.
Another issue u might av even if u av ip or vpn stuff is that of address of registration, which nigeria may be excluded. Cos to verify ur account, moneybookers will post a letter to ur address, with a code/pin to enter in the system verification online. Way around that is mail forwarding services company, which are not free. I applied and verified mine when living outside nigeria. Paypal is easier as there is no need postal verification but skrill can link and take money from my gtb naira mastercard instantly and deposit to a non-nigerian visa card instantly or to a usa bank account in 2 working days.
