Answer 1

etrade or Valis International might be able to help you open a bank account. Banks need to follow a YKYC (you know your customer) regulation. Usually asking for a Social Security number does this but you do not need to have a SSN to open a bank account. Most ask and most just give it but if the account is not interest bearing, there is not a need for it.

The easiest way to satisify the YKYC is to walk into the bank. That meets the requirement. Otherwise, you also might check with your local banks. Some of them might have a relationship with a US bank to help you open an account.

For a US merchant account, you need at least the US bank account, US address, and phone number. http://www.loudcommerce.com can help open a merchant account if you at least have those three things. It is usually a 4% discount rate, $.35 transaction fee, and a 5-day ACH holding. Also, there is a monthly processing limit of $10,000 per month
