Strategy to obtain US Amex

[georgie23]

Hi everyone, I need some clarification on how HSBC U.S. handles addresses. When setting up or updating details, they ask for 3 different types of addresses:

• Permanent residential address
• Current residential address
• Mailing address

Does anyone know which one will be used to show up on the bank statements?

The reason I ask is that I recently changed all 3 to U.S. addresses so that my statement would display a U.S. address. That worked, but at the same time, I also received a W-8BEN / FATCA documentation request from HSBC.

Has anyone else run into this? Which address should I update if my primary goal is to have my statement display a U.S. address while avoiding unnecessary FATCA triggers in the future?

I am permanently living in Australia, and have never been to US before, and the US address is my friend's address.

mailing address is for statements
Most of us have first 2 aust and last one US for proof of address

Applied gold card in private browser with 100K offer, typed random itin number on, then called Amex to fix with my passport instead then got approved with just 60K WB like public only. Can someone please tell me what should I do, what steal did I missed
