USD bank account in the UK.

BAflower

I had a USD dollar account with Investec and a few years ago they stopped allowing USD accounts for small amounts. They recommended that I ove the money to a savings platform called Insignis. 
I now want to move dollars to a UK bank account but it has to be USD account that will accept the transfer which will be US dollars.
Which bank will allow me to open a USD account and receive my US dollars from Insignis.

Barclays might be another option. 

A stockbroker rather than a bank but Trading212 offers the ability to deposit USD.

HSBC also have a Currency Account (different from their global money account).

I have the EUR denominated version, which allows free transfers within EEA countries. The USD version charges for transfers out, but this page states no fee for receiving.

I also have the Global Money account, which typically gives better exchange rates than the currency account, but have a Wise EUR account for the best exchange rates (there are other options too).

For larger amounts, I route payments through Wise.

So if you're receiving in USD, you could do sender -> HSBC Currency Account USD -> Wise USD -> Wise GBP -> Your GBP account.

You'll have Wise exchange fees. For EUR, its only the EUR -> GBP exchange fee, but USD has more fees:

As stated above, Wise is not a bank so not FSCS protected, so I'd not leave large amounts in there.

I believe Wise will charge a USD6.11 *wire fee to receive USD from HSBC so may as well skip the HSBC bit and go direct to Wise. 

To avoid any fees and get the best exchange, HSBC Global USD -> Trading 212.
