How much money are you going to deposit there and where does the money come from?

I would mainly use it for investing and transferring/receiving money from broker companies.
There are not many banks left that accept US citizens without to require a FATCA application to be completed, so I just say, forget about anonymity.

There are a few threads, as you already say, and there is not much positive feedback in there. Caya Bank was the last hope but I would not trust them all my money any longer.

As a US citizen, for sure it will, but still most banks will request a lot of information from you becaus they don't want trouble.
