Thanks for the informative posts. I have a very specific question and hope someone can help. I'm moving from San Antonio, TX to Sheffield, Yorkshire. Not transferring jobs, but marrying a british citizen. I wanted to open an international bank account here in Texas before I leave (hsbc, citibank) so I can access my resources in Sheffield and also allow my family to transfer funds to my account in case of emergencies. I can't find any branches that are located in both cities. Does anyone know of other banks that could fit my needs? Thank you so much. Leaving on the 26th and will surely be seeking advice once I move as well! CHEERS!
