Why Banks Are Suddenly Closing Down Customer Accounts

Patriot Act expired, no? Also, I've stayed abroad for a year or more and I just swapped the address to a friend's home. Kept my Google Fi, etc. and used my credit cards all internationally alone. I think I visited the US like once in a year and it was fine for the rest of the time. I lost my phone and actually activated my Google Fi SIM from abroad too (needed to use a Wireguard tunnel to the US).

I’m very impressed Google fi didn’t shut you off, I’ve heard around the web they do that pretty regularly within 3-4 months of moving

That started only recently. If you don't use the data (basic plan) and access your sms and vms via a web page using a VPN, you are ok (first hand experience, expat in EU)
