MEXICO BANK ACCOUNT

Have seen a lot of comments about having a Mexico bank account on the string regarding ATM fees.
A few years ago we cancelled our Intercam account because they wanted us to sign disclosure permission to the USA. And we did not want to check that dreaded box on our USA tax filings that we have a foreign bank account.
QUESTION: has anyone run into problems with the USA IRS on declaring a foreign bank account? Any advice?
Thanks


Wow!
I opened an account at Intercam about 6 months and didn't even notice the "disclosure permission to the USA".
For that matter I don't even think I have ever noticed that checkbox on USA tax filings.
I better pay better attention!

When Citi stuck it's big nose into Banamex they sent me a form telling me I better pay my U.S taxes. I told them to stuff it. They blocked my account. I showed them my Mexican passport. Account instantly unblocked with apologies. I do as little business as I have to with Citibanamex. Intercam is by far the best local bank to deal with. Well staffed. Friendly. Helpful. All that hassle from Citi just because I have an Anglo-Saxon name. Isn't that racial profiling or something? Assh0les!
