How to phone bank 0845 numbers from abroad

Dezza_2

Does anyone have a web address that gives the number you can call from abroad when you want to get through, for example, to a bank's telephone banking service from abroad? I have found some 0845 numbers obtainable (eg from Germany) but others not (eg from the US). I heard that there was a website that listed banks numbers that were all obtainable from overseas. My bank is the coop, 08457 212212.

Thanks in advance.

Check the back of your card - some have numbers printed on there for just that reason.... failing that https://www.saynoto0870.co.uk is a good start point

Their website has a very useful paragraph which answers your question exactly:

Telephone Banking phone 08457 212 212 (or +44 1695 53760 if calling from overseas).

The reason i suggested this is some banks eg Alliance & Leicester, are refusing to deal with calls on there published overseas access numbers, unless they originate from abroad.

the OP specifically mentioned a different bank, who will freely give out the number without any reservation

If you are having difficulty getting through to a 0845 number from overseas, then if you can't obtain a geographical number, the just dial in to +44779 231 6447 (pre-dial.com's orange access number). Wait for the voice prompt, then key in the 0845 number.

This won't save any money, but could just allow you to make vital contact in a difficult situation.
