Can I Have A Bank Account

IF I MOVED TO ANOTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRY, DIDN'T HAVE A PROPERTY IN ENGLAND, WOULD I STILL BE ABLE TO KEEP MY EXISTING ENGLISH BANK ACCOUNTS?

    Yes, most likely.

    Hopefully your bank would allow a foreign address registered.

    They may even courier cards to you.

    This is what we did at my old employer (UK bank)

    I doubt they do this anymore though as their service has been appauling since it was taken over.

    If they reject it, do you have a parents address in the UK or a trusted person?

    PO Boxes are not usually accepted.

    The other option is to ask for a mail block to be put on your account so it will keep open but no statement, card re-issues etc will be done.

    Will your account be used still?
