There are some sites, which require to have a US bank account. For example, I need to send some money to my paypal account but I can not transfer funds from my country's bank account to my paypal account. Only US bank account can transfer an amount to paypal account. I think it would be good to have an account with a US bank. Any idea about the same? Thanks!
