Absolutely. You can setup a US Bank Account (Personal Checking Account) without having a company in the US. Just walk into any US Bank and this is a very simple procedure. All they will ask is for your Passport copy, maybe an additional Secondary ID. Ask you to fill out the Account Opening Form, and KYC and Funds declaration. Takes very little time. No fuss.
Once you have your Bank Account, you can wire transfer funds anywhere you like. However, do note, this is for a personal bank account only. For a US Company Bank Account, you would need to bring along your LLC or Inc incorporation documents and your EIN as issues by the IRS.
