im an ausfag too and looked into this a few months ago

apparently the only way to open a US bank account is by going into a branch and doing it. you can open one through the internet but you have to make an LLC and have someone open it for you, which ends up costing a fortune

fug.

What about some international bank like HSBC? Could I open an account with them locally and then try to get a US account through them?

>convert my AUD to USD on transferwise or OFX
>transfer USD to my US bank account
>transfer from US bank account to an exchange like Kraken or Gdax
>buy cheap delicious bitcoins
>transfer bitcoins back to AUS exchange and sell for profits
basically, arbitrage

I could exchange using my bank and make and then make an international wire but bank exchange rates kike me to the point where I won't make a profit.


OFX and transferwise only send USD to US bank accounts, so I can't convert my AUD, send it to a foreign currency account in AUS and then wire it.

You just need a buddy in the US to have a dummy bank account you can use.

won't the banks notice the weird IP frequently accessing the account? Then that shit looks like money laundering or terror funding.

I could find a US partner and do it that way.

just link the account to gdax and send money transfers directly to the account. you'll never have to log into the bank account besides setting up the gdax account.

Some bank accounts have a feature on them so you can list that you are "traveling" or "working abroad" so it doesn't raise any flags as long as you tell them. I do this with my girlfriend in Europe.

I like having another currency account too, I'm from the UK and wanted a euro account somewhere to hold them. I noticed if you want to open a non resident account somewhere, you need to be either a) very rich or b) don't mind paying fees for shit. Its possible to find some accounts in other countries that accept non-residents free, but I found it was best to open metro bank account in uk and have a supercard from travelex (closing down next month) for mastercard (essentially actual rate). currency exchanges.

I love arbitrage and martingale threads.
They remind me of Kramer and Newman's episodes.
