How to open a bank account in 50 different countries
In my opinion, banks created Bitcoin by making it difficult for people to open a bank account.
Therefore, I tested the process of opening a bank account worldwide. I’ve traveled to every country in the world and lived in nine countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, which made it easier for me to do it.
This time, however, the bankers didn’t come to my office, and my assistant didn’t fill out the forms for me. I went to each bank, stood in line like everyone else, and filled out the documents one by one myself. When searching for banks on Google Maps, I was amazed at how badly consumers ranked them. The largest global banks in New York City get two to three stars, and the feedback from clients is awful.
With the support of graduate students at NYU (New York University), we opened bank accounts in dozens of countries. Click on the link on the next page to understand what it takes to open a bank account in each country as:
-A citizen or resident of that country
-An international student
-A tourist
