My first thought. "so they know where to send the SWAT team" - 727Sky - 09-17-2022
My investment broker for the last 20+ years along with my social security check goes to wells fargo every month. This is a big deal for me..
Quote:Deposit account holders must now provide a valid U.S. address
What is happening
Wells Fargo now requires that all consumer deposit customers provide a valid primary residential address located within the United States or its territories. Your deposit account ending in XXXX currently has one or more account holders with a non-U.S. address on file, which does not meet our new requirements.
If your primary residential address is located within the United States or its territories, please sign on to Update Contact Information to change your home/permanent address or call us at the number below. If the account has multiple owners, you must inform each person to take action independently to update their address as well.
ATTENTION: If all account owners cannot provide a primary residential address located within the United States or its territories, we ask that you close this account.

I have but then the question will be how soon they change also.. USAA is not great for international stuff anyway but...at least it works.. My concern is the social security change address as I have never been able to log on to do anything..

I agree, kinda creepy.
But the reasoning for it is probably due to the wiliness of phishers and hackers these days. If you rely on a monthly mailed statement of your account to keep tabs on suspicious activity, it would be hard to do that if your statement is being mailed out of the country.
But that's also something Big Brother would say too, isn't it? For your protection...?
Aye, there's the rub.

Whoa! Screw Fargo! Must be a loophole somewhere to get around this? Create a ghost 727Sky in the US Virgin Islands?
IDK, guess you have some unfortunate research to do.

I went paperless many years ago ...Lucky for me I do have an address in the states I can use as a stateside home address. The home address (so says their web site) does not have to be the same as the mailing address... Kinda stupid IMO.
I had to get a new passport as mine was expiring for the fourth time.. 10 years they expire... I doubt I will have to get another new one as I am fading fast and anything official government seems to make me want to bite my tongue after experiencing the bureaucratic BS...
