Can I keep my US bank account while living abroad?
Can I keep my US bank account while living abroad? Is it legal to use a US bank account when you no longer live there? Generally, once you have established a bank account in the U.S., you may continue to use it even if you are outside the U.S. (And your social security number is yours for life, no matter where you live, so that may be useful, too, in the future.)
Do I have to tell my bank if I move abroad?
But do make sure to inform your bank and credit card company of your move, and consider getting an international credit card to avoid foreign transaction fees. You should also research banks in your new city and find out what paperwork you'll need to set up a savings or checking account.
