Hi there.
I am a UK citizen and my Husband is a US citizen.
We live in the UK but are relocating to US for a year for work.
We would love advice as to which country we should open an account with to use in the states. I’m aware you can’t transfer money from UK to US. And we will have only GBP for the first two weeks until we start getting paid in USD.
Do I get UK and he gets US to cover all basis?
Any advice is appreciated!
Your UK account will likely be closed if you’re abroad for 12 months.
You can ask monzo once it’s open, but it is only available for UK residents.
Otherwise; you could both try the US once you’re settled and have an address.
