I am worried about having all my savings in GBP and would like to branch out into other currencies. However, I have no idea how to go about it. Ideally, I want to store my savings in the form of Canadian dollars. Any ideas on how I can open a savings account which will let me do this? Thanks

Contact a branch of a canadian bank in London? Or one of the big international banks such as HSBC might do something for UK nationals.
R.Smile, it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

Given that exchange rates fluctuate, investing your money abroad in this manner will increase the risk profile of your savings, not reduce it.0
