Open Business account
i need to open a business account in the UK for my company registered at Companies House, but many banks declined with below "excuse":
“As the company will be a branch of a company that isn't based in UK (in France), it still won't be approved as the main company isn't UK based.”
When clicking on your Companies House link, I can see that your company type is 'Overseas Company'
At the moment we can only offer business accounts to people who live in the UK.
Can you recommend a bank who accepts "Overseas Company with UK branch" ?
Thanks !

Almost certainly related to banking licences post Brexit, whether legitimately or not, they don't have the rights.
What did your google search / own research find and maybe people can post their experience of those banks?Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
