  My question was genuine. You wrote:

  they ask me if I am american? If yes, they won’t even open accounts/ give me insurance etc…

    And my misunderstanding is genuine? I dont know how you derived that fact from what i posted lol i never stated “i am american” to anyone, because it is not only factually false but also would bring me problems

      How do you know that they won’t open an account if you say yes? Do you know people who have had this experience, or did the banks tell you that they would not provide these services for Americans?

      I believe you. My understanding of your post:

      1. I’m not American
      2. But I’m sometimes asked if I’m American
      3. If “yes”, I face repercussions

      Hence my question. That’s all.

        Alright maybe my English is at fault. “If yes” meant to be: when I asked “what d happen in the hypothesis I was american”?
