How to get a US bank checking account, without using HSBC Premier?

The thread that has it all is:

Strategy to obtain US Amex

This will take time & patience, so either “Patience hurry up” or “Hurry up & wait”. This has not been tested & is a strategy that might work to obtain a US Amex Plat Business Charge Card with a USD$450 annual fee. The Australian version is quite a hefty annual fee in excess of AUD$1500...

No need to reinvent the wheel. It’s a long thread with lots of good info in it.

In short, you'll likely need an SSN or ITIN to open a US bank account remotely from AU unless you go to the US. HSBC Premier is the easiest way to get a US bank account remotely.

There’s also a lot of information about setting up a US account with Wise which might be easier than HSBC YMMV. I don’t have any experience of this I can share.
