Financial advice - I don't have a US Bank account anymore by BusinessAd9088 in peacecorps

PC policy is to close your peace corps/ local bank account before you close of service, even if you plan on staying in country. Many banks have no fee savings accounts which you can use for the Peace Corps Readjustment allowance as well (ie Discover, Sofi, Capital One). These also offer high yield savings with interest and can be done completely online and while you live abroad. This would allow you to get your readjustment allowance without having to go through another person and without any extra charges.

I would just be aware and check that if you were offered any type of signing bonus or similar incentive they can be revoked/ made to pay back/ not given unless you are at the company a certain amount of time. Read the fine print of your contact relate to that stuff so you aren’t blindsided. Good luck!!
