Immigrant life: what should I pay attention to when opening an account in a British bank? After the basic dust settles in Britain, it is important for the following people to choose an English bank to open an account as soon as possible. Bank account is not only convenient for your daily consumption, but also an effective way to give you a visa to go abroad or detailed address proof materials in the future.

What are the popular banks in Britain? Many banks in the UK provide financial information services. For students who have just arrived in the UK, it is very necessary to choose a bank with many outlets and thoughtful service to open an account in the UK.

Barclays Barclays Barclays Bank is the second largest bank in Britain, with a history of more than 300 years. It was founded at 1690. The student certificate is used to open a studentadmission in Barclays Bank, free of annual or monthly fees or any other small loan account management fees. In addition, Barclays' online banking is quite convenient. You can log in to your computer online banking at any time to inquire, transfer money, inquire and download the electronic operation list. Moreover, Barclays has a mobile banking APP on both IOS and Android, which can be queried and transferred at any time.

HSBC HSBC is a world-class international bank, which is well worth using. However, since HSBC cannot open a bank account for students applying for a language visa in a short time, if you want to apply for a visa together or apply for a full-time visa, you must choose another bank.

Lautaro /TSB Bank, headquartered in London, is a large private enterprise bank with higher loan interest than other banks. TSB and Barclays are the two most commonly used bank cards for students in Bian Xiao. Its services are similar to those of Barclays. Student accounts are free of annual fees, and online banking and smartphone apps are very convenient. Accounts are divided into deposit accounts and cash accounts. Cash accounts are used for trading and can be cashed out. However, if the cash flow is not started and the amount exceeds 20 pounds, it may be deducted if it is not paid back for a long time.

Santander, headquartered in Spain, is the largest bank in Spain and the second largest bank in Europe. A monthly fee of 5 pounds a month. The online shopping of Santander Bank is not attached. You must start, with a monthly surcharge of 2-5 pounds, but there will be cash back (shopping rebate). When choosing, friends can choose the right bank according to the distribution of outlets and account opening requirements of banks in their own settlement area.

HSBC is one of the largest banks in the world, with several service outlets in the UK as high as 1800. Its advantage is that if you already have a bank account in China, you'd better open a British account abroad in advance. In addition, I think the ATM of HSBC is the best. It settles quickly, without wasting time!

Finally, students can choose the nearest business outlet to open an account in combination with their own city and surrounding environment, which is convenient for future deposits and applications for other services. Finally, I wish you all a smooth trip to Britain ~
