JSA - UK bank

Opening a UK bank account can be a little tricky. For a start you’ll need proof of address, which can be difficult if you are staying in a hotel or with a friend. Then you’ll need a utility bill, which is in your name to your registered address. You’ll also need to show your passport and some other form of ID from your home country. Even with all this you might have to try a few banks before you get a UK bank account. And when you manage to open an account it will probably offer you an ATM card but not a full debit card which you can use in shops or online!

Our Traveller XP service has been designed to make moving to the UK as stress free as possible and as part of this service we can assist you in opening a UK bank account - ensuring that it is set up in time for you to receive your first payment from us.
