Bank Accounts (updated)

Would I need to request in my home country to have my [bank] account accessible in the USA or would I need to open an account in the USA?

From Camp Connections:
All banks are different. I would definitely let them know you will be in the states in case they charge you for using while abroad. 
 
If that happens looking into Monzo an online bank which internationals use. 
 
Or 
 

From The Barton Center:
As Max mentions [above], you can reach out to your current bank let them know you be in the states to determine if 1) you can access your funds while in the states and if any fees will be associated with those transactions 2) if they are an international bank compatible with the states for payroll direct deposits.
 
We have had previous international staff use online banking companies (ex Monzo, Wise).  Another option we are looking into for direct deposit is Payroll Visa Debit Cards that are issued by our payroll company and do not require any banking information.  We are also waiting on a call back from our Local Bank to determine the process for international staff to open accounts while they are here, but I think this might be the most tedious process and more beneficial to open an online international account.

UPDATE: TD Bank and Bank of America are relatively close to us. It appears as though you will need a Social Security number, which we will help you obtain when you arrive, an ID, and proof of residence (which we will help you with when you arrive). Diesel will get the exact details prior to your arrival.
 

From the Summer Camp Pros FB group:

"We send their checks to a Cliq paycard, which is a US Debit account that you can set up using their Passport # rather than SSN."
