Can a non US citizen in the states get a loan from a US bank?

Best Answer on yahoo answers, 3 years ago:

Yes, all banks have their own loan criteria. They may require a social security number (which does not indicate citizenship) or they may have other requirements, but there is no law against non-US citizens obtaining loans from US financial institutions.

By the way, the governments of many countries now require their citizens to declare their overseas accounts.
