Bank of america customers need help!

Question

My husband lives in my country (Afghanistan) and i live in US/New York ... he wants me to open a bank account here so that he can easily transfer money from his account to my account.

I never had an account before, so i don't know much about it. Can you please explain what to do? ... I mean is it easy to transfer money from his account to mine while he's not living in US? ... And how to open an account online? ... I mean they have so many options, i personally like Bank Of America, my mom and brother have an account there and so far they have no problem with them.

Should i check the "MyAccess Checking" ... as they don't have any requirements like minimum balance required and no direct deposit requirement.

Answer 4

You need to find out if BofA exist in Afghanistan. If not, you can use Citi Bank. Open a/c in US and Afgan.

Transferring money within bank is common and less hassle as long as that bank has a presence in US.  

Answer 5

call bank of america they can probably help you better of course because I have no clue. sorry

Answer 6

Okay, I will ask the obvious...why dont you go into your local bank of america and have the guide you through the process. If you dont and have never had a account you need to go bank first. After that then you can have a friend walk you through the steps of opening an online account. Also he needs to have a Bank of America account in Afghanistan if he is going to depost money in your account.
