savings in the uk

I have a problem in that I work in the UK but live in France. My one and only address is in France, my husband has a company penion from the UK company that he used to work for:
So our money we earn and tax we pay is from the UK But can we get a savings account opened with a french address. No! Of course the interest is higher in UK that is why we want to save there. Any ideas? legal ones.

    It is a problem.

    For others who may be moving abroad temporarily, it is always worth moving one bank/bs account to a close relative's address and keeping it open to "maintain" an ID that the banking system recognises when you return.

    Sorry this doesn't help you, divadend :(.

    Do you not have some sort of temporary / rented UK address, or do you commute daily :eek: ?

    so just thought there was another way. It is all to stop money laundering
