Business Bank Accounts for non-residents

Business Bank Accounts for non-residents

Didn't find your answer?

Hi

I have a non-resident client who has set up a UK limited company. Does anyone know whether he'll be able to set up a UK bank account before he relocates here, perhaps with one of the online banks?

Thanks in advance!

Likely not.

But then you dont even say where he is from.

How about the UK associate of a bank with who (whom?) the client currently deals with in their home country?

Thanks all.
That's what I thought, but I just wondered if there was anybody out there who'd do it.
He's from Hong Kong, so probably HSBC would be the best bet.
He's also relocating to the UK in a couple of months, so we could set it up when he gets here. It would just have been good to have the account ready when he gets here....

Well the current position is a company controlled offshore.
Best to wait for Director to be situate in UK.
