In 2027, new EU banking rules could change how European residents access bank accounts outside the European Union.
In this video, I explain what the new rules actually mean, how they affect foreign banks without an EU presence, and why this could create additional compliance problems for EU residents who want to bank internationally.
I also break down reverse solicitation, grandfathering provisions, and the important difference between EU citizenship and EU residency.
We look at the similarities with FATCA and what happened to US citizens as foreign banks faced increasing reporting and compliance requirements. While the current EU rules do not ban Europeans from having foreign bank accounts, they could make some international banks more reluctant to accept EU-based clients in the future.
Finally, I explain why international diversification matters and how legitimate second residencies, second citizenships, foreign investments, and banking relationships outside your home jurisdiction can form part of a long-term Plan B.
