I very much doubt that.

When you open a bank account there they'll go to very great lengths to make sure you're not from the US and you don't fall under FATCA (forein account tax complience act), and if you do, then .. well, you usually can't just open an account there, but there are branch offices of course that are ready and willing to do business with people and entities associated with the IRS, probably they are a bit more costly though.

This applies even to Swiss citizens with American green cards, unfortunately.

Note private banking has always had different rules from consumer banks.
