Can I open a high street Bank Account if I do not live in the UK?

As a formation agent, we cannot guarantee the successful creation of a bank account, as each bank has its specific requirements that we may not be aware of. Regarding our referral service, we are unable to refer our customers to a traditional high street bank, if there is a single officer within the company structure who resides outside of the UK. We have an exclusive partnership with WorldFirst UK, which has proven to be very helpful for non-UK residents wishing to set up a business account. Just because we are unable to provide referrals to traditional banks, this does not mean that you cannot contact these banks directly. However, it is known to be a more challenging process if an officer of the company resides outside of the UK.
