AARO Voices the Podcasts for American Expatriates Around the World
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.

Voting problems for Americans overseas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of AARO Voices, we explore the hard-won history — and urgent present challenges — of voting rights for the 5.5 million Americans living overseas. From AARO’s founding in 1973 and the historic 1975 “Teabag Campaign,” to the passage of the Overseas Citizens Voting Rights Act, UOCAVA, and the MOVE Act, this episode traces how Americans abroad secured their right to vote. Today, new legislative and legal efforts threaten to make overseas voting more difficult once again. Learn what’s at stake, what AARO is doing to defend overseas voters, and how you can help protect the fundamental principle of “no taxation without representation.”
Banking for Americans Living Abroad explains why U.S. expats often face account closures and limited banking access. This episode of AARO Voices explores FATCA, compliance challenges, and practical banking solutions for Americans overseas, with guidance from the Association of Americans Resident Overseas (AARO).
