If you're living, working or travelling abroad, you may need to carry out day-to-day banking transactions in multiple currencies. Using your regular account can be inflexible and expensive so finding the right solution for convenience and easy access to your money is key.
Opening a currency account
If you are abroad often, you might want to open a local currency account - but in some countries this might be difficult if you're not a resident or don't speak the local language.
We can set up international current accounts in sterling, euro or US dollar before you move so you can access your money easily. Subject to meeting our criteria.
