5 simple steps to establish a US bank account
When you open a bank account online or in-person, you will need to provide the bank, credit union, or financial institution with specific documentation which meets their eligibility requirements.
Certain types of accounts, such as saving accounts, joint accounts, or certificates of deposits (CD) have a minimum age or other additional specifications.

Sending money abroad shouldn't mean queuing in a bank branch and filling out forms with codes you may never have heard of. An international money transfer moves your money from your account, card, or wallet in the US to someone else's account, card, or wallet in another country, and, above all, it should be simple, transparent, and reliable enough that you don't have to think twice about it.
Whether you're supporting family back home, paying for something abroad, or sending a gift for a birthday you can't be there for in person, the reason you're sending matters more than the mechanics. If you're new to Paysend, your first transfer comes with zero fee and a special exchange rate, so more of what you send actually arrives, and we'll show you how to claim it.

An’anaviy usullar esa oddiy bo‘lishi kerak bo‘lgan jarayonni murakkablashtiradi: IBAN va SWIFT kodlarini talab qiladigan bank o‘tkazmalari, pul yuborilgandan keyingina ko‘rinadigan komissiyalar va uyda kimdir bu mablag‘ni kutib turgan paytda bir necha kunlab kutish.
