Strategy to obtain US Amex

[nthd_nthd]

Really? I only connected my Wise to my USA Amex account probably 6mths ago and it worked fine. You can't use the Wise USA bank address they give you with your Wise USA bank details?

I tried to show Wise Statement with US Address on it but Amex refused. So a more concrete Bank statement down the line will be beneficial.

Is there a preferred bank to open your first U.S. checking account with? I’ll be going to the U.S. next month and may look to open one while I’m there if it’s not too much of a pain.
