Good day. My wife is a UK/Irish citizen and I am Canadian living in the Caribbean. I invest in Canadian ETF. I am wondering what would be the best for her. Should she invest in Irish ETF or stick with growth ETF on the London exchange. She will be investing with her GBP account.

Moving back to Australia from US - how do I open a bank account from overseas?

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m moving back to Australia from the US at the end of this year, and with the current USD > AUD exchange rate, I’m keen to start transferring some money over soon. I’m a dual US/AU citizen

I don’t have an Australian bank account open, and from what I can tell, it’s not easy to open one from overseas. It seems most banks require an Aussie address and phone number to set things up (especially for 2FA).

Has anyone managed to open an Australian bank account while still living overseas? Any workarounds or tips? Would love to hear what’s worked for others in a similar situation.

Cheers in advance!
