Euro current account

Thesmiths

Looking for a nice simple UK based Euro account that allows me to keep Euro saved in the UK and make transfers into Europe at low cost. Ideally it would not need a significant minimum amount.

Not worried about interest just a simple account devoid of to many rules. Went to see Nationwude who I use who said they had nothing and HSBC were incredibly unhelpful suggesting I was not a premium customer!

Any recommendations welcome

Thank you

Found this one with a quick Google. The Ts&Cs quote a fee but also note that it doesn't apply to the Euros account.

One of my current accounts is with Barclays already - they have a slightly annoying SecurePin cardreader device (there's also a less clunky phone app version) that they make you use to do online banking, but the site generally works perfectly well and I've had good experiences with their support teams recently. Since they need you to have a Sterling account with them first in order to open a Foreign currency account I'd recommend looking into their Blue Rewards programme if you decide to go with them. A free £4 a month isn't too bad.

And it seems the Co-Op have one too.
