Hello,

I am a software developer living in the middle east. I am trying to start online business, as any other online business, users are required to pay money to benefit from the services I am providing, and here where I am stuck! I am trying to add PayPal payment option but PayPal does only support sending money in my country, but not receiving or withdrawing money to my Bank Account. So, it comes to my mind that it will be really great to have Bank Account in USA and connect my PayPal account to it, and I can use it for all my online business transactions ..

So, Can I open Bank Account in USA as I am not US-Citizen? Does it require SSN, and is it possible to have one?

Thx!
Ahmad
