Keep a UK bank acc: in UK when moving to Spain permanently?
Keep a UK bank acc: in UK when moving to Spain permanently?
by Paul1000 » Tue May 07, 2019 3:08 pm
I've tried to search for this question/answer on the forum but haven't found anything so far. My question is this:-
Has anyone who moved to Spain permanently from the UK, kept their UK banks account as well and if so, how does it work if you no longer have a UK address and are no longer a UK resident ?.
I'm currently with Barclays in the UK.
Thanks.

Barclays will allow you to have a Spanish address as long as you currently have a UK account I have UK accounts with Barclays who I used to work for also KSBC and Lloyds TSB and have been a Spanish resident for many many years I do not have a UK address

You can retain a bank account when you move abroad. What is difficult is opening an account in UK when you are not a resident there but some banks (Natwest, TSB among others) will allow you to open one.
No problem in keeping your bank account when you move, though. Just tell the bank your new address.

We are with Barclays in the UK and have been resident in Spain for about 20 years, no problem, we do not have a UK address either.
