I'm need to do the same, as my sister is about to transfer some funds from her bank, either into my TSB UK, or direct to my B of A account. Could anyone help with details on a 'safe' sign up link to...

Re: Does anyone here from the UK have a Florida home ?

Must say I was a little 'surprised' by last couple of long term posters replies. Not really something a newcomer would want to see.... Only my opinion!!

Re: Any Brits out there in North Idaho / Spokane WA area?

4 days since you posted so I guess there's not many Brits in that neck of the woods! I was in Idaho this time last year and was due to be there again about now, but due to the virus my visits on...

Re: Low cost of living coastal towns - South/S.E. England
