Yet another question that occurred to me as I’m preparing to leave the U.S. to work in France.

I have Bank of America. Will they allow me to keep my checking and savings account and my credit card if I don’t live in the U.S. for almost a year? I won’t even be using them very much, because I’ll need to open a French banking account, but it would be such a pain to have to close my accounts and figure out what to do with my money while I am preparing to leave the country. Also, it would make it much easier to keep paying incidental costs in the U.S. if I have an American account and don’t have to do a wire transfer every time.

Do you think they would let me change the address linked to my account to my parents’ house in another state?

Any experience or advice? Thank you in advance.
