Have you tried to open a bank account in the UK recently (in the last 3 years or so)? You need all kinds of UK IDs which no none residents will have access to (e.g. one form of Proof of UK address like council tax bill, UK bank statement, UK utility bill, etc). So who exactly will a none UK company open a UK bank account exactly?
