How do I set up a UK bank account?

Setting up a UK bank account is super easy. Here’s what you need to do:

Step 1: Choose a bank – some of the most popular banks in the UK are Barclays, NatWest, and HSBC.

Step 2: Do your research, and make sure that you are eligible to open an account.

Step 3: Prepare your documents. Normally, UK banks require:

● Your ID

● Your Visa

● Your university acceptance letter

● Your proof of address – we can help with that

Now that you’re well prepared, you can either set an appointment with the bank you have chosen, or you can simply open your bank account online, in less than 10 minutes.

Note: The requirements of each bank may vary, so it’ll be a good idea to check out their website to be sure.
