Internet savers

Finding it hard to open internet savings accounts while overseas with BFPO address. Any advice?

Comments

  • I don't know whether I should or not. I always use my parents address in the UK, for Credit Cards, Loans or anything important that I don't want getting lost in the BFPO system, or anything I need in a rush.

    I get my mother to forward bits and bobs on by recorded.

    If they need to ring me, then I get my mother to say that I am on course, then the ring me on my German mobile.

    Hope this helps

  • I've justed open a new ISA this tax year (abbey) and a regular saver with the halifax without any problems both registered to my bfpo. You might find it's a problem if you apply on-line as the postcode never seems to format properly. Just give the bank a call and they should be able to open the account for you. H
