Advice please - international joint bank account

2 replies

Can anyone advise if they know of any bank or savings organisation that offers a joint account where the people named in the joint account live in different countries? My partner is a foreign national still living in her country, we plan a life together and want to start saving. She has sent some money to my bank account but I would prefer one in both of our names that we can both access. My partner is in a non-eu country if that makes any difference.
I've looked online and can't find anything. Revolut you have to both live in the same country and HSBC you have to be an existing customer, which we are not.
Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions

I think you will find it extremely difficult if not impossible - most high street retail banks only deal with UK resident customers, because the compliance resource to meet UK anti-money laundering requirements for non-residents is expensive. Those banks that do have an international offering usually require a rather enormous deposit, so unless your girlfriend is insanely rich and can go to a Private Bank with a few million quid, and doesn't live in a country on their black or grey list, I think you're out of luck.

Yes I think you're probably right, thanks for replying
