Bank of America does... CitiBank does. If you'd like to find out, ask them if they honor the Mexican Matricula Consular card. This is a card issued by the Mexican government that allows illegals to open accounts in the US without a social security number. If you were to find out they do, would you bank elsewhere???

I visited a site concerning illegal immigration recently that mentioned that card. I immediately called my bank and was relieved to find out they didn't honor it. If they had answered yes.... yes... most definately, I'd have moved my account.

This site tells which banks do and do not accept the Mexican Matricula Consular card. I would never do business with a bank that supports illegal immigration.

US Citizens and US Legal Residents are able to open bank accounts in other countrys using a US ID. So what's your point.

Banks are businesses. They are there to make money and don't care where the money comes from. I don't understand why this would surprise anyone.

Mine, Washington Mutual, is contemplating it. I've advised my banker there that if they do accept this form of bogus identification, that for my continued business, I will insist that all of my current accounts be closed and reopened without any trace of my social security number being attached to them.

Thanks for the site DJ. I sent them an email to find out about my bank. It's not on the list, but if I find out they bank illegals, I'll be changing banks ASAP!

Sounds great to me.
I have no problem with those bank practices.
I needed bank accounts in Mexico and San Jose PR and that was so hard. I'm glad that our banks are internationally friendly.

Yes they do, and its a darn good thing. I have been with Chase for 12 years and I would have pulled my account if I had found out they were a racist organization.
