The challenge for international students
Students arriving in the U.S. often have great difficulty gaining access to the local banking system.
This can lead to a reliance on cash in a digital economy or paying high foreign exchange fees using their native bank accounts.
Zenus Bank is the first of its kind to allow foreign citizens to open a U.S. bank account without the need of U.S. residency.
How we can help
Zenus Bank is the first of its kind to allow non-U.S. citizens to open a U.S. bank account.
Zenus exists to provide more financial options to the internationally active, giving people and businesses a ZenLife.
