Will it be possible for a US citizen to open an account and use direct deposit to buy bitcoins?

Congratulations. Sounds amazing.
To use the services mentioned, debit card etc, do I have to live in the EU, or France, or is it available to everyone?

We won't have limitations regarding the citizenship of our clients.


He asked because the U.S. certainly does place requirements (on banks) for its citizens getting foreign accounts. Mostly it involves getting copies of copious identity documentation and reporting end-of-year summaries to the IRS (U.S.'s tax collection agency). Are you in compliance with these laws specific to U.S. citizens?
