Best Us Bank For Expats (2024 Updated)

I received it the other day and it was better that I expected. Sometimes a picture is deceiving. It was much bigger than I thought in the picture but that is great. This is a gift and my niece will LOVE this!.

Very cute bank. Well made and very sturdy. Great for kids.

I really love it. Its such good quality all around really satisfied

The bank is very cute. However, on my first and second order of this bank I received someone else’s order, not mine. I had to return those items to the store. On my third order it finally arrived to me but it was cracked in several places.

I am so disappointed with buy buy baby. How could I get someone else’s order twice?! When returning the items that weren’t mine to the store one of the managers seemed like he couldn’t care less, almost like it was a bother to him to have to deal with this.

I returned the cracked bank to the store and they asked if I wanted to order another one. I didn’t even bother, I shouldn’t have to order something 4 times to get it. I will look for a new bank somewhere else.

This is a very cute gift for children to play with and to learn the valuable lessons of saving money at an early age. This coin and money bank is made qith quality ceramic material and is very durable yet delicate.

I really like the overall neutral color and design of theis ceramic bunny bank. It is very easy to maintain to with a removable rubber stopperto hold dollar bills and coins. The bunny is encased in an elegant casing and is perfect as a baby shower gift.

I like the detail put into the design too. Overall, this is fairly lightweight and is built to last for a long time. I recommend this product!.

I bought this to send to my 2-year-old honorary niece, along with some starter coins to go in it. Surprisingly inexpensive for the quality, beautiful packaging. No youngster should be without a bank.

Never too soon to start learning about saving.

Wanted something more portable than the 10k pack I had owned for a few year. This is smaller, lighter, grippier, and shaped better for lounging around the house, garage or out and about. Tops off my folding phone at a good speed.

Plugs into a wall socket for a ln hour and it’s back in business.

I love the ease of charging directly and the ease of charging the power bank! It looks sleek and fits easily in my purse. The built in plug feels secure and strong. I only wish the charger was a bit more powerful because I love this form factor.

Love this power mini-bank! Ease of use, portability, even the color helps me spot it quickly amidst all the other gear in the bag. Great design – well thought out. I’m sure it will get TONS of use!

I am definitely impressed with the design of this product. It is premium and solid all around. I have been looking for a wireless charger that is capable of handling all of my devices simultaneously.

So far it performs fantastically. I think it could be improved in a few ways. First, it was larger than I expected, and I wish it were slightly more compact. It is just a little too big to comfortably fit into my back.

Second, I wish that both of the charging ports were USB-c, since this is the direction that Apple is taking with all of its products. To accommodate USB-A products, an adapter could be provided or purchased.

After I upgrade to the iPhone 12, I will no longer have a need for a USB-A connection. Lastly, and this may just be a matter of learning its functionality, but the power button is triggered very easily.

I will be paying attention to see if charging mode gets accidentally activated while the Quatro is stored in my bag. So far this hasn’t happened, but every time I open up my bag I see the charge status lights turn on.

Overall, I am extremely pleased!.

Great charger! Has enough power for my iPhone 12 pro and apple watch at the same time. The built-in wireless charging is key, so you never have to remember a cord when going out. The slim, lightweight design is easy to bring this device places and doesn’t weigh down your pocket or bag.

The only nitpick I have is the power button is very sensitive and can turn on the battery without knowing.

Great charger for traveling. It charges my iPad my phone my watch and my AirPods. Wouldn’t go anywhere without if I truly love it. It is sleek and very high quality. I recommend it without a problem.

And Satechi is really good at customer service also. The first one I order was defective and they sent me a replacement right away.

I bought the Belkin 20000 mAh battery back a couple of weeks ago, it was working good up until I charged it one day and the battery drained out of it while charging. Now when I try to charge it with other chargers it won’t charge, im pretty annoyed about it considering I bought it not long a go and it won’t turn on.

This product is ideal when I travel with my daughters. Two of us can recharge our devices simultaneously, and there is enough power for the third person to use after that. Great purchase!

The only thing worse than being tied to one spot while your phone is charging is to not have enough juice when the power goes out because of wind, ice, forest fire, etc. etc. Or when you anticipate power going out for a few hours because of wind, ice, forest fire, etc.

, charge all your devices, and then you’re left without electricity for days on end. Which is why you need to keep devices such as the Anker PowerCore 10000 mAh Power Bank on hand and fully charged at all times.

I recently received one as a gift from Eufy in exchange for an honest review. It’s slightly bigger than units I currently have. But it comes with a handy drawstring bag so you can keep it with its power cord (which can be used either to charge a device or to plug the Power Bank into a wall charger) so you don’t have to scramble looking for the latter.

I ran it through its paces and it packs a lot more power in that tiny bit of extra size. After fully charging the Power Bank, I charged two cell phones to 100% — one that was completely dead (2-1/4 hours) and one that was down to 15% (2-1/2 hours, probably because that was my main phone and I did respond to a couple of texts and one call while it was charging).

By then my tablet was down to 19% and since it’s older and the battery doesn’t last as long as it used to, I decided to charge it as well. The Power Bank had about 45 minutes more charge left in it and brought the tablet to 78%.

That, plus the full charge I probably would have started with, could (if I was circumspect in my usage) have lasted me several days with the electricity out. The one disadvantage of the Power Bank is that it took 9 hours to fully recharge, something that will need to be taken into consideration if your power is out for more than a few days and you have to go elsewhere to charge your devices.

But since you will usually be charging the Power Bank when you don’t need it, the length of time it takes shouldn’t be a problem. Being able to charge as many devices as it does is well worth the extra recharge time.

I bought the Anker PowerCore 10000 to power a heated vest. It works great. I can get about 8-10 hours of usage powering my vest. It’s relatively small and fits into the vest nicely. It’s not too heavy (it is a 10000mAh battery) so I expect it to weigh more than the lighter 2500-5000mAh power banks.

I needed a smaller battery to fit into the pocket. Note that this only has a micro-USB port to charge the actual power bank. There are other models with USB-C (which I do wish this also had). But, I need a small form factor and the other models are larger.

The product seems to built very well. Hopefully it lasts a long time.

The bank seems sturdy enough and it’s big enough. I think a little bigger than a quart jar even. I like the feature that it turns itself off when not being used. To get the batteries in we used the tip of a knife for the tiny little screw.

I was hoping to use it for my son with special needs to help him in learning to count money. Before he puts a coin in he says what the new total will be then puts the coin in and sees if he got it right.

a fun way to learn! But it doesn’t always give the right amount which makes it more confusing. It has added in cents by itself and once it jumped up the amount. Maybe ours has a faulty counter. ? I’m undecided abut returning it for a replacement.

For a jar to save coins in and to have a general idea of how much has been saved it’s fine. But for the purpose I bought it for it’s a little disappointing. It’s accurate most of the time but not reliably so.

Is that 3 stars or 4 stars? We haven’t found it hard to push the money through which I was concerned with. After the first few coins we learned that we have to start to right side of the slot and push it to the left and then it’s easy.

Pros: Counter works well and will still work even if you are rapidly feeding coins; manual override allows you to easily increase or decrease; fading numbers are an easy sign to know when new batteries are needed; locking feature is nice for keeping kids out of the jar; good little gift a small gift exchange.

Cons: Overall unit could be a little bigger (as a result I’m using this for silver change only and storing pennies in a regular jar); battery compartment requires small screwdriver to remove and would be much better if was just a snap closure; will take a long time to fill if you already had a lot of change built up (one coin at a time must be pressed in fairly hard) Overall this is cool gadget that would make a nice small gift or comes in handy for those saving their change and wanting to reach a certain monetary goal before breaking into the bank.

For us we usually cash in a full change jar prior to every vacation and wind up having a really nice dinner out abroad with it. This will help us know throughout the year how close we’re getting to our goal instead of waiting to see what the bank says when we bring it in!.

Got mine earlier and it’s good so far. It doesn’t come with batteries which I wasn’t too worried about since I goal wasn’t something I use that locks. The only thing I didn’t like it the key for the lock it came with.

The key felt cheap and flimsy. If you want something more sturdy, I suggest getting your own.

The bottle is great! It is a really cute change keeper. It did get a dent in it in transit but it’s not noticeable.

Slipped this in the basket as a little extra gift while spending £100s on toys for my sons 6th birthday. Apparently this is the best present he’s ever got in his life! – Not the £80 robot he’s been asking for months.

Just goes to show it’s the little things! Minus 1 star as you won’t fit much in but oddly it’s kept him entertained.

Got it as a gift for my nephew. The back legs fell off and then we noticed the whole bottom was coming away from the sides. Did say to sister that I would send it back but bro in law is fixing it with some glue.

Hopefully any weight will hold or it’ll come off completely.

This is a gift. Perfect for the Minecraft fan and a good way of teaching about the importance of saving. This is a great gift for when you’re not sure of what the recipient has already in terms of toys and will look great in their room.

This product is great for outdoor people in the wild. Especially if they have equipment that uses 18650 batteries, like headlamps. It works fine with solar panels, restarting the charge if a cloud parses by.

The charge-through function does not work well, and it is useless as a buffer charger for e. g. a cycle dynamo. When the charge input disappears, a connected usb item, will not restart it’s charging (but the internal battery will).

Worst though, is that the USB output will not charge items drawing less than about 60 mA! This means that you can’t charge small items, like your watch, GPS and camera. This made it useless for me, and I ended up buying the Nitecore F2 also.

The F2 works better, but has inferior mechanical quality (and readouts) compared to the PB2.

So far so good! Goes a good job topping up my phone or torch. Handy size. Like the simple display. Very easy to use. AAA+++

Very handy charger/power bank. Works exactly as it should and easy to pack with such a small size.

The design of the money box is of course extraordinary, very pretty. That elephant was missing from my collection. With a width of approx. 6 cm and a height of approx. 12 cm it also holds a lot of coins (but how much have I not tried), on the picture it doesn’t look that big.

However, since the part is made of steel, I am not sure whether it is suitable for small children (danger of scratching the surface). It suits me, but in my opinion it’s more of a sculpture with the side effect of a money box.

Smashing little money box. It looks fabulous on my window sill and is big enough to hold quite a lot of loose change. If you are looking for something unusual this is the one to chose.

I love this Moneyphant! I was tempted to keep it ! Anyway it’s made a fab christening gift and am sure it’ll last forever! Great design and a good size!

So adorable! Big piggy bank. Arrived fast and in good condition. Very happy with quality. An excellent gift for any princess. Target, please bring back the doctor piggy bank. My colleagues love them as gifts but I can’t find them anywhere anymore.

I ordered 2 of these banks for my great grand daughters. They are so adorable. They were packed perfectly and I am extremely happy with this purchase. Thanks Walmart the shipping company did an excellent job!!.

This was a gift for my nephew. It absolutely blew away my expectations! It was larger than I anticipated and the detail was just beautiful. The personalization of his name was also beautifully done. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a jungle theme!.

The newly designed Gen 2 NB1000 is absolutely phenomenal. Although the dimensions are the same from that of first generation, this current model appears to be even more streamlined with a bit more elegance.

Now you are able to easily distinguish the current status of charge effortlessly and the yellow border that surrounds both the USB and USBC output ports enhances /compliments the black carbon fiber case.

This is truly a remarkable lighter and compact power bank compared to others of the 10000mAh capacity as this is easily fits in my 4Lmini sling. The first generation now permanently resides in my EDC pouch.

Lastly the items I have acquired thus far from Nitecore has never disappointed me as the products are well constructed and the fit and finish are seamless. The customer service is impeccable and I will always remain to be a satisfied returning customer.

I’ve used this on several week-long trips this past year. I love that it is light weight and I don’t have to worry about power running out on my phone or headlamp. It holds a charge for a good long time, weeks and weeks.

I had it in a drawer between trips and found that after a few weeks, it still had a charge and was able to charge my phone. It doesn’t take too long to charge at the outlet either. I purchased a fast charge wall adapter for use on my section hike and found that the battery charge was fully charged by the time my laundry/shower was done.

My daughter has a different charger on her AT thru-hike and it was heavier, slower charging, and didn’t charge her phone as many times. I’m very glad I purchased this charger and Moosejaw never fails to please me.

This worked really well. In my unscientific home testing, this charged my Iphone X twice from almost zero to full charge. I am a Scout leader and we are just back from an 11 day trek in New Mexico (IWTGBTP !!).

In the field, I had to keep 2 continuous glucose monitors, a GPS, and an insulin pump device manager charged. I used a solar charger during the day, and charged devices at night. No problems. Used the same power bank for 12 straight days without issue.

(disclaimer: we had plenty of sunshine for the solar charger–results may vary). I did have an additional power bank for back up, but never needed it. I would strongly recommend this. Kind of pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The bang for the weight made it very worthwhile. ToddH.

It arrived quickly and well-packaged. It is a very similar design of Jeff Koon’s iconic balloon dog sculpture. It appears to be ceramic (not plastic) and very substantial and sturdy, well made. We like the sculptural quality and contemporary flair that it adds to our otherwise traditional collections of bookshelf statuary.

There’s a discreet slot on top for coins and and a removeable plug on the belly, neither are noticeable. We use it only to collect quarters from pocket change, and I’m going to guess it holds probably $50-$60 worth of quarters.

Woohoo! Nice pop of color too!.

I love this fun, whimsical piece for my end table. It’s a beautiful color – as pictured – and a reasonable price and great quality. For city living as a dog person who lives in a no pets apartment, it’s a great sculpture to celebrate my love of animals and how much joy they bring me.

Couldn’t believe this find! Purchased as a Christmas gift for my brother as it reminded me of a statue by Jeff Koons that we saw years ago on a trip to NYC. It reminded me exactly of the statue right away! Hindsight being 20/20, I maybe should have bought the smaller version because I wasn’t judging the size properly, but I think it will make a wonderful decoration in his home.

It was packed up nice and securely in styrofoam so it wouldn’t be damaged during shipping too. I couldn’t be happier with my selection.

My 330D has been going strong for 5 years with little down time. It’s been drowned with salt water on several occasions and still works fine. When there have been error lights it’s always been the battery or a corroded fuse holder in the cables going from charger to batteries.

Keep a spare in-line fuse holder and splicing gear handy. Overall good unit at a reasonable price.

This item came in in a busted up box loosely packed. Looks as if it had been on the shelf for a long time and possible moved A LOT maybe even dropped a couple of times. It had a couple of nicks on it.

Hoping it wasn’t used. Haven’t used this to charge my batteries but once. It seems to be working fine. Time will tell. JC from North Carolina.

First charger arrived broken with the manufacturers box completely torn up. They offered to get me the top of the line charger if it arrived before the one I ordered. After about a month I received the better charger, approximately $35 more for the same price as the original one I ordered.

I wanted a receipt for the different model incase I would need warranty in the future. Well since I needed a corrected receipt I had to pay the extra $35. The delay cost me a fishing trip with my sons and was kind of sorry to have waited so long as other dealer had the item available and would match price.

They should have at least offered me a $35 gift card for BOE for a future purchase. But nope, nothing! I’m happy with my charger but lost time with my son’s.

I bought this bank for my 5-year-old grandson who LOVES Baby Yoda. He was so glad to get this bank. He immediately went to the parents “change jar” to get some money to put in the bank. He even put some pennies in Yoda’s cup to be able to use as “emergency cash”.

The bank was quite a bit bigger than I expected.

My daughter loves Baby Yoda and she love saving money so this was perfect for her. It’s a good size piggy bank and its a rubber/plastic so it should hold up well. $25 is a bit steep for what it is but I’d still recommend it overall.

I have this as a Christmas gift. The person likes it so much. Kept it in his room and plays with it. Great gift!

I like the size and weight of this device, its fast to charge up and charge out. It’s perfect for my needs. Great value for the price. Way to go Duracell.

I needed a reliable small power bank that my 6 year old can safely pack in her school bag without risking exploding or catching on fire. I got the 1 day Duracell power bank and it performs really good.

I especially like to 10 safety features which I could not find in other brands.

not for sure if the one i bought has something wrong with it but it most definitely does not have two extra charges. and it does not charge my phone 2xs faster than a wall outlet. its kind of ridiculous how long it takes to charge my phone.

for its price i was expecting it to live up to all its specs, but i would have been better off ordering a cheaper one online.

This unit does live up to what it proclaims. I use this to charge my Cell Phones, when at rest and also when I need to extend the life of the battery when listening to music. There are other products on the market but this product does perform better than most.

There are more powerful units, and the price is considerably higher and not worth the extra. I would recommend this to anyone needing to keep their phones up to the MAX.

I have found this product to really be a handy item. We cannot always get to a wall plug to charge our phones and especially our bluetooth headsets as often as needed. With this item, I am always able to take and make calls when needed.

I can then re-charge this unit and the phone stuff when it is convenient. I liked it so much I bought two of them – one for my wife and one for me.
