We set up our SS payments to our UK bank through the FBU at the London US embassy.

When you say local SS office, do you mean in the USA? If you have not yet completed your move to the UK then I would definitely go to my local office first to try and set it up.

When I started my SS last year I went online and set up the payment details to pay into my UK bank account so I can confirm that you can do it online. Do you have a SS online account?

I’m on holiday in Scotland at the moment but will log on next week when I am back to see if I can see where to go to change bank account details

If you log in to SS on-line and click My Profile you have an option to Update Banking Details.
You should be able to do it there.
