Most of our clients will open a UK Bank Account after they arrive by attending a short meeting with one of our local branches in London or via a postal application if outside of London. This bank account, opened on arrival is included in the cost of the Kickstart Package and not able to be sold separately due to our introduction agreement with our banking partners in the UK.
However, if it’s only a bank account you need we can still help. The pre-departure bank account can be purchased as a stand alone product without purchasing the Kickstart pack. It’s not our most popular account because it has a minimum earning threshold of £24,000 or deposit amount of £5,000 and does attract monthly fees of £5. However, this account has positive features, like the option to attach a Euro account and debit card, handy for those people travelling Europe before they arrive in the UK. Open this account before you leave and use your FREE international money transfer to move your money before you leave.
You can buy this pre departure bank account for just $50AUD or $65NZD or add into onto your Kickstart package for $15AUD or $25NZD.
