One-liner rant.

Dealing with banking while being an expat sucks SO MUCH, people, I can't even tell you. Or maybe my bank just really, really sucks; there's definitely good evidence for that.

Sometimes I feel like maybe I should have Swiss bank accounts, they might be able to handle my cross-national status a little better!

My problem is almost always with my French banking, because I'm not there and nobody has even bothered to make a note of that on my account, apparently, so they suck at communicating with me. Which means that I regularly find myself without a debit card, for example, and usually exactly when I need it since I only realize it doesn't work when I try to use it.

I'm leaving one French bank to go to another, in hopes that they'll suck less, but that process itself is a huge headache when you're trying to do from far away, especially because banks are open exactly when I'm asleep.
