Euro bank account

nasca07

Hi,

I am looking for a Euro bank account to manage from the UK without any monthly/yearly fee.

I would like it with a debit card with no fees to withdraw cash and making purchases while in the Euro zone.

I could deposit up to 15000 GBP immediately.

I checked the Barclays website but they don't give you a debit card, Natwest charges you for every transaction that you do with the debit card and the popular German bank usually suggested on this forum is not accepting UK residents anymore.

Any other suggestion?

Thank you.

Lloyds offshore euro account offers a debit card but I don't know about fees and charges.
If someone can't make a profit from a part of their business then that part won't be around long - so what you are looking for may not be available.

Hello,

I recently found an account in Euro with Cater Allen. You need to transfer £5000 on opening and there are no fees. They offer also a deferred visa debit card, but I am unable to find the fees for transactions and atm withdrawals.

Do you bank with them and would you suggest it?
Thanks

The Cater Allen charges document is easy find with Google.

I had account with DKB in Germany for years but they wrote to me to close it when I updated my address. I'm not sure if they're still an option.

Since then I've been looking for a Euro account too as I receive payments in Euro from time to time for translations and proofreading.

Yesterday, I came across Bank of Baroda who have a terrible website but it seems like they'll open a savings account in Euro with a debit card with a minimum balance of 100€. They're Indian but FSCS covered and the account has a debit card.

I've emailed them for more information and can report back.

Help..

I get paid in euros into my U.K account, I work for a Luxembourg employer. At the moment with the exchange rate I'm losing 100's of pounds each month.

Anyone have any suggestion on what is my best move..

Or if there is a better account to be using.
Thank you..
