How to open a U.S. bank account without stepping foot in the US
cperciva: As a Canadian I found that Harris Bank is great -- when you sign up for a bank account online, you can check a "I am a Canadian" box and everything Just Works.  (I'm guessing this is because Harris Bank is owned by Bank of Montreal.)I don't think Harris Bank does this for other countries, though, so if you're not Canadian this won't help you.
