In USA, due to fear of money laundering and other political nonsense,
you cannot open a bank account at a US bank unless you are a legal
resident of the state in question and can prove it with photo ID issued
by a government agency. And if you are doing banking in some US states,
they will impose an end-use tax on sales of most items.
