American expats in Mexico, how do you open a US checking account while living in MX?

Hi guys!
I'm currently living in Mexico and don't have an address in the US apart from my relatives'. I need to open a checking account in the US but I'm wondering if there are options for a US citizen living in Mexico.
Can you help?

Use ypour relatives' address and open a fidelity or schwab account.

Show up once in a while and sleep on the couch.
If you’re really worried about it, get an international account.

You can use your Mexican address to open a Schwab international account in Mexico. You need to add the checking/debit card option.

State Department Federal Credit Union will open a bank account for US citizens living overseas without a US address.

Or use your sisters address

Not an issue, just go to the bank branch, you need passport and a prove of legal residence in Mx (migration form). You can use your relatives' address.
