Open a US Bank account from India - No ITIN or SSN Required

Hello everyone,
If you are a freelancer, a remote worker, or you receive payment in USD to your Indian account, then you are losing markup fees because of the transfer (currency exchange).
Do you know that you can open a real US bank account, receive payment directly to that account, and hold your money in USD?
Yes, it's absolutely possible. As an Indian, you can open a digital US bank account using your Indian passport.
No SSN or ITIN is required.
As you all know, you cannot open a traditional US bank account without visiting the country physically. So I'm talking about a digital bank account, a fully functional, proper US bank account with all the features you get from a traditional bank and the same level of security. Your money will be insured by the FDIC up to $250,000.

I'm talking about the Utoppia digital bank account; its banking services are provided by Synapse Brokerage LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC, and Lineage Bank, a member of the FDIC (accounts are provided by Synapse Brokerage LLC, and the deposits are held with Lineage Bank, Member FDIC).
Utoppia is just like a Fi/Niyo bank account.

Eligibility Criteria-
Anyone from the listed countries can open a Utoppia Bank account.

Can we give US address? Do we need to give them address proof if we choose to give a US address?

For Wise, they do require an address proof from at least one country. While I was in Canada, I gave them proof of my residence there (it was a hotel / student residence) and that was accepted. I was also allowed to open a US account without any proofs further.

Utoppia has mentioned this account has min 500 USD monthly balance maintenance criteria or there will be 3 USD charges.

Anyone aware of this? They havenโ€™t mentioned anything during account opening.
