List of Banks in United States

Context for United States

Supervision (orientation): Bank supervision in the United States is shared among federal agencies (including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for national banks, the Federal Reserve for certain state-chartered members, and the FDIC for many depositories) and state regulators for state-chartered institutions. Which primary supervisor applies depends on charter type; you can usually verify charter class and regulator links from each bank’s official “About” or regulatory disclosure page.

Non-residents: Non-U.S. persons can sometimes open accounts, but banks apply customer due diligence rules that vary by institution and channel. Typical requests include government-issued identification, proof of address, and tax identifiers where applicable (for example an ITIN in some situations). Some products remain U.S.-resident only. Procedures are set by each bank and can change; confirm the latest checklist before booking an appointment or starting an online application. Foreigner account guide.
