The damn Illuminati again?
Open a Canadian bank account, transfer money throughout wise or similar from US bank to Canadian bank. Job done.
Most of our money comes from british investments paid into british banks, once a month we gather together what we need and move it to our French bank.
All bills and tax are paid from the french bank.
They are the Waldo that we cannot find.
That sounds awesome. Why didn't I think of that? Now I want ice cream and lemon meringue pie.

Can't get to Canada to open an account, border closed, Covid restrictions. Well, actually I can get to Canada, the Canadian border is open. However the American border is not...so I might not be able to get back.
You expect sense? That's not a win.
Phones and post still work both ways. We opened our french bank account by phone and mail when we still lived in England.

Can't open a Canadian bank account by phone, have to open in person..... they do not make it easy.
Jeez, thats crazy.
Why don't you just stand at the border and yell? That might work.

Yes it is, the banks are not all the friendly to foreigners I guess...but I blame Justin Trudeau just the same

hmmm...had not thought of that....but I wonder If yelling into Canada also requires the Covid test within 72 hours of yelling
Look at international banking. Also if you can open a US account with a US bank with branches in Canada. It may be easier to then open another account in the Canadian branch... Just speculating here.
Another thought. I think you can set wise (transferwise) up to pay bills
I think it should be okay as long as you have a mask on.

They only accept bank transfers and having an American account means nothing to a Canadian bank. I have tried to find multiple ways around this and it all comes back to, I need to go yo Canada. They also prefer a Canadian Social Security number, which I cannot get. But I did find a way around that. I can transfer money from an American Bank to a real estate broker to buy a house...I just can't pay bills without a Canadian Bank account
Wise as you noted is a wise choice (see the attached link to my later comment) so you won with that suggestion.

Nope, don't care what that says, talked to banks in Canada, talked to banks in US with Canadian branches, all say the same thing...you have to go to Canada to open an account and a US bank account, in a banks in Canadian branches, do not matter
Indeed. It has the features of an international bank at not a lot of international bank cost.
