I had a weird thought. While banking in a country whose interest rates and currency value is higher than your country's was difficult in the past due to the lack of reliable banks and low-tech communication, would an American be able to start a bank account in say, the UK or do you have to be a citizen of that place to start an account?

That depends explicitly on where you want to be and what you want to use.

Doing it in the UK for a current account is a huge pain, because of proof of address and other issues, such as fees needed to pay if you intend to much use it.

Now, if you intended to invest or keep business accounts elsewhere, you run into far fewer issues.

Banking in the UK is controlled entirely by the goblins of Gringotts International Bank (GIB). Speak to them in their Diagon Alley branch office and they may be able to help you.
