Which US banks allow foreign addresses for automatic payments?

[DianaMaria]

I will be returning to live in my native Argentina with my husband as a permanent resident. We will not leave a physical address in the US so we need to transfer our monthly automatic deposits/payments from Chase to an account that allows us to set up an address in Buenos Aires.
Any suggestions?

Charles Schwab International allows foreign addresses and has an investment department as well.

That being said, unless you are prepared to abandon completely the US financial system, there are some better options out there than using a foreign address, like a virtual mailbox with a US address.

Don't even think of closing your U.S. accounts until you know the ins and outs here. And don't change Soc Sec if you have it. Leave things in the U.S. And get a U.S. address for a couple of bucks of month....and keep it. Do that before you come here.

State Department Federal Credit Union is one of the very few US banking institutions catering to expats. I've been banking with them now for 8+ years and can't fault them at all.

100% agree...you will regret closing out your us address and I recommend you keep a us phone number as well. There are so many reasons to keep both of these.

Why not have your SS sent to a local bank AND keep your US bank account?

Another dumb idea. Keep you accounts in the U.S. Keep your business in the U.S. You will understand later.

And have a phone with a Tello account so you can get bank confirmation messages. VERY IMPORTANT

$5 a month.

"Dumb ideas" usually come with explanations why they're dumb and not simply paranoid babble like, "You will understand later."
Not Cool, Caribbean.

As others have suggested, don't do this.

My advice is to keep the Chase account, (but change it to the cheapest package), change your address to a friend or family member's, and get a Wise account before leaving the US, it's great for traveling/living abroad, and has tons of features, plus if the Cepo does end this year, you can use it to make payments here (I currently use it, and while the rate isn't as good as WU, it's better than the BCRA rate, and works in person, on websites that process payments via MercadoPago, even Google/Apple Pay works).
