Hey guys, is it possible to open online a US bank account without providing an address?

I think you can not open anywhere in the World an bank account without a little bit KYC like Adress and ID Verification

I think most banks are asking for your ID and it should include your home address.

Why do you want that? Banks are known to be asking for information like this for their depositors.

For some business purpose but I don't have an address

I wouldnt imagine it being possible to open a account with any country without providing a proof of residence.   

It is required to prevent fraud among other things and certifies that you are a real person.  I would be skeptical to put my money in a financial institution that doesnt care where I live. 

Why would you be sceptical if a financial institution doesn't care where you live? As long as they provide good service and reputation I wouldn't be sceptical, instead I'd be more worried if they want too much information about me.

Now the banks all over the world require Kyc verification and even if you do online they require video verification, so also a valid address

If it's really needed, rent somewhere and ask your landlord that it's needed for your application in a bank account.

I'm confused, where are you staying right now? why don't you use that address where you're staying?

I don't think you can open a US bank account without an address. I've probably only opened 3 accounts in my life but I needed to give out a lot of information including ID and SSN.

I moved to a different country but need a US bank account now for business, I guess the only option if I use relatives' or friends address.

If I were you I'd call them and ask. Just start calling different banks and don't forget about Credit Unions either.
I'm sure someone will let you open an account if all you're missing is a current address. As long as you have all the other KYC stuff.

If you specifically want it for receiving payments, you won't need that. Just open an account on Payoneer (https://www.payoneer.com/) and apply for US bank and you will be provided one with your name. Similarly, you can get European, Japanese, Canadian bank accounts as well.

Thanks man for useful reminder about Credit Unions ! yes all other my KYC stuff is fine

They don't ask for the address at Payoneer?

You will definitely not find such a Bank without identity verification. In General, this is a strange question. Why do you need this? If you only have problems with your registration, you can open an account using credit unions.

You wanted to establish a Business but you are an alien? lol none has no address unless you are a Homeless,and even Homeless uses the street as their address in case there is a need for Mail or packages.

Use the place where you at now or else you are hiding from something.
