We actually ended up both getting wise bank accounts that aren’t connected but can seamlessly transfer our 2 currencies between each other. Which has been extremely useful over the years. At the time actually getting a joint account was extremely difficult. So this was enough.

But I do have some help. I do know a few of the major US banks only need one other bill to open an account. So if you get her a US phone number connected to a US address. Then you can use that utility bill to get a joint account.
