I'm not sure if this is the best ng for the question, but in a year or so, I plan to travel across the States for a month and the thought suddenly occurred to me that with the pound so strong against the dollar, I'm wondering if I could open a US bank account which would hopefully earn a bit of interest too before I go and then use the money when I get out there.
Are UK citizens allowed to open US bank accounts (or saving accounts, etc)? If so, any ideas which ones are any good for UK citizens to administer remotely? Plus do they charge any fees in the States for banking?
Thanks.
