I am a UK Taxpayer, but live in Belgium working for NATO.
I have monies that I would like to Invest or put into Savings Accounts in the UK but continue to be told that I am unable to open accounts because I do not have a UK address.
Can anyone help me or advise me on a Savings Co that will allow me to open an online account.

Are you a resident in BE or UK? You cannot open a UK bank account, or other financial product unless you are a UK resident (usually).
However, there are certain companies that offer international bank accounts and savings products. Here is one example: http://www.offshore.hsbc.com/1/2/ They offer Expat services. But please Google for other banks offering similar services. I believe Lloyds and Barclays also offer similar services.
Alternatively, if you are a registered BE resident, then you can invest your money in a BE savings account. That may work out better financially as you will not lose money in exchange rates.
Also, don't put your real name on here for security reasons.February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
Do you have a BFPO number?
You should be able to open an account with that as your address.0
