To be able to open a bank account in Miami when you come to the US and stay in lodging  and accommodations Miami Beach, you need to meet certain requirements. The conditions vary according to the type of account you want to open as well as the bank you want to open a bank account in Miami with. In most banks, a Social Security Number is required.

- 2 forms of ID (one must have a photo). It can be a driver's license, passport, social security card or another bank card.
- $100 in cash (or $25 if you want to open a student account)
- Social Security card (if required).

Types of bank accounts:

Checking accounts
This is the regular bank account used daily. Generally, there is no interest. Be aware that if you make a purchase in an amount that is more than your available funds, the bank will charge you a lending fee which ranges between $25-$30. Make sure you always have enough available funds in your bank account.

Money Market Account
This is a interest-bearing account that allows you to write checks. It usually pays a higher interest rate than checking or savings accounts. Most banks impose fees on this type of account.

Saving accounts
This account is not designed for daily use but the bank pays a monthly interest on it. The interests are not very high but they do exist. If you have a checking account at the same bank, you can link both accounts. If your checking account is running low on money, money from the savings account can be transferred into the checking account.
