Bloodyhog@lemmy.world 1 week agoJust talk to your bank, you are not alone in this situation! If the deposit is sizeable enough, they will transfer your account to their international operation. If not - why do you even care? Just take it out as cash, or wire it to a bank in your new place.
On the retirement savings - there is also a mechanism of transferring it to your new country of residence.
