> Double is only available to US residents.

I would have loved to see that message on the Sign Up page before I enter my email address.

Thanks for the feedback, we will try and make this more clear for Non US IPs.

US residents != US IPs

Indeed, some US residents do travel outside the country occasionally.

Oh for sure, we just plan on showing a banner if the IP is non US. You can still fill out the application if your IP is non US.

And non-US residents occasionally use US IPs.

US Residents? What about US Citizens living abroad?

No unfortunately we do not currently support US citizens residing abroad. There are a few restrictions on opening an account, namely: must be 18 years old or older, has a U.S. social security number, a permanent U.S. residential address and phone number, and currently resides in the U.S.
