US Bank Acct for Canadians

[Ryan11]

Well I am canadian and right now I just keep my bankroll in Neteller and poker sites. This sucks because I don't really get any interest or anything on it. But if I want to cash it out to my bank and ever have to get it back into the site I have to convert it from USD to CAD and vice versa.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to open up an account at ING or whatever in the states without being a US citizen or living in the US at all. This way I could just transfer it in and out of the sites as needed and make a bit of interest while at it. Also would any of this be possible without having to go to the bank in person(ie by fax).

Anyone have any experience with any of this or any other suggestions?
