What Bank Account in Euros could i get while being in the UK .

Options
Hello i am looking to get a bank account to save money in Euros .

I will be using it in Netherlands as i'm eventually planning to move out ot the UK .

Is there a bank account from a decent bank , id like to avoid banks with a past of washing money for drug cartels aka HSBC but if i can't then i can't .

Also im looking to get transferwise to do the currency exchange any ideas on this as well ?.

Cheers

  • All the high street banks offer euro accounts which will be domiciled overseas in the Isle of Man or Jersey and they will cost you.
    You won't be able to pay euro notes into them (you might by paying a fee) and no free withdrawals unless by debit card.

    Maybe now is not the best time to start saving Euros because of the low exchange rate. Perhaps save in sterling now and buy the euros when the exchange rate has improved a bit.
