HSBC have a passport account at £5 a month. This includes cheap transfers of money overseas (£10 instead of £15-£25 each time with other banks), debit card and a cheap sim card for making call to overseas. Seems to be the easiest account to set up with the most priveldges.

Most other bank will request that you have 2 forms of ID including a recent utility bill or similar and also to be on the electoral roll and you will just get a basic account with an ATM card.

Oh dear! You are going to struggle for a while. When we arrived here in 2005 we couldn't find a bank to take our money - and yet they were content to offer loans to all and sundry! Didn't make sense to us - all we wanted to do was deposit money, we weren't even asking for a cheque book. What you need to do is to collect together proof of residence - things like utility bills, 'phone bills and get yourself onto the polling register as soon as possible. If you are employed, then three months salary slips will also help. It took us four months to open an account - so Good Luck - I hope you will achieve your goal sooner than this.

i would guess the HSBC but that is only my own opinion but go ahead try them but be prepared for extras over the top as any bank will do

First question, are you a citizen of the commonwealth? are you currently a student? that might help, but I am not sure of the details. Check out the TNT magazine because there's a company listed in it that could help you out, but you might have to pay a monthly fee. You could also try a building society because it might be easier to open an account. If you are working there and have any co-workers who aren't UK citizens, try asking them. I wish I knew more details but it's been weeks months since I was living in London. Hope this helps.

If you can prove your residency and identity there should be no problem. It's all about money laundering in the Banking Act.
