Opening A Euro Account From The UK

Jgb1

Hi,

Is it possible to open a ero account from the UK? I sell on Amazon and when I get paid from european sales it is accumalated in euros and then paid to me once a month but gets transfered to sterling at their rate on the day. I would like it paying into a euro account and either use it when Im in europe or transfer it when the rate is good. Is this possible?

Thanks

Have you asked your bank about opening a Euro account?

I have asked at my bank and they do not offer any thing but I will try and get to Barclay's and talk to them.

Thanks

Who is your bank?

Most UK banks can open euro accounts for you but they will not be free to run.
Unless you have a large amount of Euros it may not be worth your while.
Why do you not tell your customers to pay you in sterling? (letting them worry about the exchange rate)
