Opening a bank account in UK (from Spain)

**bali2002** · 13-10-04

Hi Folks!
I live in Spain and would like to open a bank account in uk to get my affiliate money from uk programs in UK, and be able to transfer money to my Spanish bank account (comissions for UK checks in Spains are too much!!)

Any advice?

Thx!!

I'd have a chat with your local bank in Spain. Almost all banks have overseas branches and can provide local accounts. Setting up a UK bank account does take a little more work, proving who you are etc now. I've used UK banks to create overseas accounts for me and it's usually very easy (i used HSBC).

I have a Halifax account in the UK and Spain (Banco Halifax Hispania) so I am sure you can do it the other way!

Hey bali2002

I've got the opposite problem, I'm thinking of moving to
Barcelona in Spain - any advice? (Sorry to hijack the thread,
but it's something I've been meaning to ask!)

If you move to Spain you shouldn't have any problem to open a bank account, my problem is I'm Spanish and want to open one in UK from Spain!!
