How this works. The 4 products are picked to work together, not just individually. Bank #1 is your foreign-income receiver; Bank #2 is your India-income holder; the investment product is matched to your country's tax position (e.g. PFIC-safe routes for US persons — PFIC = Passive Foreign Investment Company, the IRS rule penalizing US holders of non-US mutual funds); the cards are the US/UK/UAE side that earns back. Open in any order, but doing #1 first gives you the rails for everything else. Affiliate disclosure: bank/card links are affiliate-tracked where available; we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. Recommendations are ranked on fit, not commission.
