Give them a hard time about it.

Didn't stop SEB in Sweden from threatening to close my US national, and 10 years a SE resident, partners account when they wanted to cash the first stimulus check.

Doesn't seem ideal while simultaneously repeatedly begging the same rare US nationals with Swedish residence permits to move to work their mainframes, but who am I to judge.

Your partner can hold US account details via TransferWise for use with US matters. Why are you depositing paper checks in USD outside the US? That is madness.
