  1. But do you live in the US?

    Maybe I put it incorrectly: they are closing non-US resident accounts. I know for sure that they don't accept UK residents as one example.
    You have to call them to find out if they accept your country of residence.

  5. They don't accept accounts from some countries, it's not the citizenship of the person but where you live. I tried opening one previously, I got a courteous email saying they couldn't accept my account due to policy.
