bank that allows joint account without SSN

[DanielParul 50]

Daniel added me on his checking, savings accounts without me having an SSN and we were not even married yet at Wachovia.

bank of america gave my boyfriend no issue regarding adding me to his account either without a SSN. Just wanted ID (drivers license will do)

Same here,

I am also on my husbands account with Bank of America. All they wanted to see is my german Passport. I have my own ATM card and access to the account. The best is to be with him when he adds you to the account since you have to sign some things.

which bank allows you to add someone to have a joint account even if they dont have an SSN? i know bank of america won't do it because you gotta show an SSN number...what about the ING account or other banks?

As others have said here...Bank of America will let you do a joint without a SSN. My hubby did not have one and they allowed us to do it. However, if you mean opening an account and he's not here yet....that is different. Bank of America required his signature in person.

I do beleive that the banks that are allowing you to open a bank account are doing so illigally. Befor my wife got here I tried to add her to my account and my bank (small credit union) would not allow me. My friend that works there went into a office and grabbed some papers and showed me the rules in this regards. It's a federal law that was passed after 9/11 to help stop funding of terriost.

That is not true. Banks are allowed to open an account for someone without a SSN as long as they have a document from their home country such as a passport, drivers license or other picture ID's. If it were illegal, there would not be a federal paper allowing us to do this.
