Tavira banks with GBP accounts
We're with Banif (Tavira) and were thinking of soon switching EUR to GBP as they reach parity. Does anyone know if local Banks offer GBP accounts ??

Sorry don't know the answer to this one, but suggest you get your walking boots on and hit the all the Banks in town and let us know how you get on. Thanks in advance

Thanks, I'll try Barclays. The PT banks are offering substantially higher % rates to UK (or now Spanish) offshore entities......but I was also thinking of switching out of EUR back into GBP soon....then switch back later. Will post any useful conclusions.
Thankyou Joao for most useful comment....you still have heaps of credit for previous posts, so let you off this time

Perhaps a trip to Gibraltar would help. They do have £ accounts.
