@frhi Just to note keeping open US bank accounts can create issues for breaking tax ties with a few of the stickier states. Check state tax implications before doing this.
@thatbaicong We flew through Istanbul and converted gbp to lira no problem using the borderless account. You can open a turkish account... try their customer service.
@thatbaicong She has GBP at a Turkish bank? If you have a wise borderless account you can upload directly there as an intermediary between Turkey and UK accounts. Their customer support is very good.
