Opening a US dollar account as a British citizen

Lulu58

I'm not sure if my question belongs here, but I found another thread from several years ago on a similar subject, so I thought I'd start here.

My husband may be doing some consultancy work for a US company. Part of his salary will be paid in a UK bank in GBP, but there is a commission element which will be paid in US$. Ideally, we would like this paid into a US$ account/bank.

Can anyone suggest how we might go about opening a US$ account as a UK resident?

Pick any US bank of your choice and use Google to search for London branches. Contact them to see what they can/cannot do for you.

I used to have a us dollar account at citibank. I think they still do them.

They do - I have one.

The possible difference with us is that we aren't moving to the USA; we are staying in the UK.
