UK bank account for foreigners

Oct 02, 2004 1 Replies

Hi,



a recent amazon.co.uk order contained a "firstdirect.com" leaflet advertising their bank account.



Their offer looks reasonable - online access, proper interest paid on balances over UKP 1000, a "maestro" and a credit card, no monthly fee. I would like to have such an account - BUT: UK residents only. (Maybe they should have instructed amazon.co.uk not to include their leaflet on foreign deliveries. I am in Germany.)



Can anyone suggest a firstdirect.com competitor that does accept foreign customers?



Bye Frederik


HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt perhaps. Oooops, sorry, they're part of the same group.
