UK Bank Accounts and Tax numbers
Britbound
Open your UK Bank Account
If you would rather not spend six weeks on the phone in London trying to set up your UK bank account and have the added frustration of trying to get a tax number. Then make it easy on yourself!
STA Travel's Britbound 'Hit the ground running' package will help you set up your bank account and National Insurance (tax number) no fuss!
What's more, you don't even need to have a minimum deposit to open your UK bank account.
So what 's the deal?
Britbound's 'Hit The Ground Running Package' will help you find your feet and get a stress-free start to life in London. Once you arrive you'll be invited to a welcome evening held in a traditional London pub where you'll get a free pint! There you'll meet the Britbound team, hook up with other new arrivals and find out about what's on in the big city. Britbound will sort you out with a phone SIM card to help you find your first job - or just keep in touch with new pub pals. Most importantly they arrange an appointment at the bank to set up your brand spanking new UK bank account and they help you get your National Insurance number. To top it off they'll even give you an A-Z to help you find your way to interviews, an international phone card to call your mum when the good news comes in and pay for five days' free gym membership - perfect for getting you in shape after all that socialising!
