Hello, can anyone advice a bank to apply for a current business account, with not more than 1k$ deposit?

Thanks

Hello.
Sorry, thought it was enough. i'll try to add more.

I live in ukraine, i'm not resident of UK and not planning to visit it in near future. The LTD company is formed in UK and i need a business account for it. Everywhere i asked - it is necessary to visit branch for face to face appointment, and/or place a 5000£ deposit.
I'm trying to find if there is an opportunity to do it remotely by phone (and by sending docs via dhl or ups courier). 2000£ deposit is maximum i can allow to place on account for a start.

I doubt you'd get very far with running a business with only an address and a bank account in the UK. May be try Liechtenstein or Monaco or one of the carribean islands.

Sorry but it will never happen - this has money laundering written all over it.
Why not open an account in Ukraine?

Indeed, and OP, for future reference, the £ sign goes before the figure in the UK (£5,000, not 5,000£)

It may do in the UK however many countries in the EU put the £ or € after the amount.

so 500£ would be an acceptable manner to write it as would 500€

Accepted...but it's not the norm here...and Ukraine isn't in the EU anyhow...
