I can confirm this. I opened an account at Citibank with only my passport.

They require a local address though, right?
Opened one at Wells Fargo the other day, no local address. They were happy to mail everything to Greece.
Does this mean even people who visit US on tourist visa can open accounts ?
Yes, that's what I did. And no local address required.
I also was on ESTA, and had no local address.
Yep, I was on ESTA. Not even a visa.
