I am now Resident in Spain. Is there any way I can hold a UK Bank account. Halifax seem to think not.

Hi Paddy,
I moved permanently to Spain last May. Before I moved I advised my UK bank - Natwest - that I was doing so and they said no problem to keeping my account.

No reason whatsoever why you shouldn't have a UK bank account.
The only problem you would have is if you tried to open a new account or apply for a credit card when you're resident out here.

Hi we moved to Spain last year and told the Halifax and they said it wasn't a problem. When we got a permanent address we changed our address with them and it was fine. We still have our account there.

Hi Josie. Thanks. I think the problem is opening a UK bank account once you have moved to Spain. Patrick
