    Yes, Fineco Bank UK or TransferWise 'Borderless Account' (not actually a bank but can be used to receive salary). Revolut would be fine for euros but there's no facility to receive dollars yet from a third party.

    Forget currency accounts with the main UK banks, they all stiff on the rates to exchange to pounds and don't even give you a card to use.
