Welcome to the very first episode of AARO Voices, a new monthly podcast series from the Association of Americans Resident Overseas!

If you're an American living abroad, you know that life between two countries comes with unique challenges. At AARO, we've been advocating for Americans overseas since 1973, and we're excited to launch this podcast to share valuable insights that matter to our community.

Each month, AARO Voices will explore topics that affect Americans living abroad. For our inaugural episode, we're tackling banking—a pressing issue that touches nearly every American expat. Whether you've faced account closures, struggled to open new accounts, or dealt with the complexities of maintaining financial ties in two countries, you're not alone.

In this episode, we'll explore the banking landscape for US expats, discuss the regulatory changes that have created these challenges, and share what AARO is doing to create solutions.

We hope AARO Voices becomes a valuable resource, helping you stay informed and connected no matter where in the world you call home. Join AARO at aaro.org and thank you for being part of our community.
