US$ Bank Account

Didn't find your answer?

We have a client who is going to get paid in US$ for the foreseeable future so is looking to open a US$ bank account for his UK limited company

His current banking is with Santander

Can anyone recommend a bank / account please

No

They have a sister bank, but that bank won't deal you without a referral

More info

The sister bank require us to have a referral from an independent advisor, they do not deal with the customer direct - rubbish !

Bizarre that they do not

Bizarre that they do not recognise their own sister bank - Santander - as fit and proper to introduce the customer to them!

But are you sure that Santander itself is only able to offer sterling accounts?  I have a client who has sterling, US$ and Euro accounts with RBS - not with sister banks of RBS in other countries but with RBS itself.
