“Massive pain” I presume you’re taking about address proofs. The secret is that they aren’t so strict about it. Change the bank or credit card address nearest to issuing next statement. Then just sign up for Google fi and use whatever address.

And my friends address was where I wanted any correspondence to go, so I considered the change genuine for my situation
