We have begun International Banking 101
For the last few weeks we have been looking into the best way to set up an international banking presence. It is quite an interesting quest, with all the new US and Panamanian laws.
One very important thing to remember is that when living overseas, US banks can close your accounts if you are not careful. This is due in part to the Patriot Act and other wonderful laws. We have found it is best to work with a bank that has a presence in both places and also facilitates opening new accounts in the country of your choice..
Now this is not a commercial, however HSBC Premier seems to fit the bill. We will have a concierge banking rep here in the states and in Panama. They will work to have the account opened before our next trip down and this way, we will have access to local ATM, bank branch and other banking services while we are in Panama.
We will be starting the process soon and will update everyone on how things go.
Wish us luck!
