Bsic Bank account

Does anyone know of a Basic Bank account that I can open in the UK - even though I live in Spain?. When we moved here 5 years ago I closed my UK Bank account, & opened a Spanish account. However now that I am coming up to retirement, I would like somewhere to bank in the UK, no credit, just an account I can put money into/withdraw at ATM's when I'm in the UK, and maybe set up direct debits. Many thanks.:cool:

    If you have an account with Banco Halifax Hispania they 'may' be able to help you sort a UK Sterling account with Halifax UK.

    Worth a try?
