  • What’s the best bank account for a global nomad?

    Posted by Jessica on December 9, 2020 at 4:18 am

    Hi all,

    As a wannabe nomad figuring out a way to free myself from the rat race, I’m trying to figure out the best tools and resources to make it happen. Banking being one of them.

    What have you found to be the best bank account with the best offer and features to access your money from anywhere in the globe?

    I’m looking for the cheapest withdrawals and a large global footprint of ATM’s or partnered ATM’s without extra charges.

    Transferwise borderless bank account is the best if you are doing business in multiple countries. Best exchange rate between currencies that I have seen.

      Wow, I just looked it up. TransferWise looks perfect for currency transfer. Thanks!

    Your nationality is going to determine what’s the best choice for you.

    For German’s I recommend DKB and Number26. Both have no ATM fees.

    For American’s, Charles Schwab is one of the better ones. Reimbursement for foreign exchange fees, etc.

    Not sure about other nationalities.
