Easy to open
It's easier to open than a standard UK bank account - you can set it up before you move.

Making the journey smoother
Let us take care of your day-to-day banking so you can concentrate on making the best start in your new home.
Day-to-day money management
In the UK, you’ll need a sterling bank account, but because you might have interests, assets and family at home, you’re more likely to need the easy international transfers, currency transactions and other useful features of our International Bank Account.
Why choose an International Bank Account?
Bank in multiple currencies
Open multiple bank accounts in a range of currencies1, including sterling, euros and US dollars.
Send money home
Our international money transfer service provides you with a quick and easy way to send money home.
Choice of cards
There’s a range of cards to make payments, including the Barclays debit card and American Express Charge Card2.
UK mortgages
We can help you get a UK home with a choice of mortgage deals and the ongoing support of our mortgage advisers3.
Investments
We can offer you savings options and investment management services to help you build your wealth4.
International Banking Service is available for clients who maintain at least £100,000 or currency equivalent with us (threshold may be increased dependent on jurisdiction or other factors).
Relationship management
Designed for clients with more complex financial needs who are looking for proactive support. Our relationship management offers you personalised and dedicated expert service5.
