hello there, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way of buying bitcoin through a us bank account even if I am currently not a us resident anymore. I still have my bank account in the US from when I was living there, with a small amount of money still in there. A few years back I was able to buy some btc through coinbase but now they allow to do it only from the country of residence, after that, I was able to do it through Circle, but they too no longer allow it, any suggestion? thanks
As long as your account still active i think you always be us it to do transaction, i think that's new regulation to prevent arbitration, i has try it to to withdraw my btc on houbi because i'm not residence of china.

Not that I know of... If there is someone in the US that you trust a lot, you could send the money to their own US bank account and have them buy the BTC for you. Otherwise you will likely have to wire the money (or write a check to yourself) to get it into a local bank then buy BTC from a company that allows it for your country of residence.

Sorry I didn't have better news. Be weary of people asking to help you facilitate this transaction.

Thanks,
