Open UK bank account
As anyone who has tried to open a UK bank account will no doubt
tell you, it is a far more complicated process than you might hope for. Plenty of
red tape, residency requirements to be met, forms to fill in and documents to submit
make the whole process of
opening a UK bank account a huge hassle. Most banks won’t even open an account
for you unless you have lived in the UK for three months!
What many people don’t realise is that there are people who can cut through the
red tape and make the process a whole lot easier - someone else to handle the
hassle so that you don't have to.
1st Contact, the global immigration and finance leaders, have spent the last 16
years dealing with issues related to immigration and have used their expertise and
experience to develop a product specifically to make life easier for people
moving to the UK.
The Kickstart package is probably the easiest way to open a UK bank account and
includes a UK mobile phone SIM card, a
comprehensive Guide to London,
job and CV assistance and a UK bank account – opened on arrival.
We give you a choice of three different leading UK banks and book you into a meeting
with our local branch. You will meet with one of our bankers who will open an account
for you on that day. Our introduction to the bank guarantees that you will be able
to open a UK bank account and avoid the usual three month residency requirements.
What this means is that when you arrive in London, you are comfortable in the knowledge that you are well on your way
to being settled already, and won’t have to spend the first few
weeks wading through admin.
You may also elect to order the
Kickstart Visa package, which includes the application, processing and delivering
of your UK visa.
