Do Banks there let you withdraw money from American accounts (I.e via an ATM) as I’ve done when living overseas or does he have one of those cards like some expats have that you can put money into from, say, a checking account and use anywhere? I like that the (steam) heat is included as I had that while living overseas. It was nice.
