HSBC account - Easy to open!
Hi
You don't need to panic about opening an AUS online HSBC account whilst in the UK.
I went into the HSBC branch in Brisbane the day I after I arrived armed with my passport, my photo driving license and A$2000 (initial deposit). Hey presto I will have an account open within 7 days. Because we are in a hotel until we get a rental, the bank says they will arrange for the ATM cards and pin numbers to be picked up from the branch.
We have brought some cash with us. Also we have used our Barclays UK atm card here. If you have a Barclays UK account, you can withdraw cash from Westpac atms withput incurring a charge.
Its that easy!!!!!
Hope this helps
regards
