Information for non-UK residents
The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 and moved into a transition period during which it remained in the EU single market. This transition period ended on 31 December 2020 and has resulted in the following changes to our banking services from 1 January 2021:
Non-UK resident customers will be able to continue to use any existing accounts they have with us as normal. Any direct debits or payments will operate as they do today. There will be no changes to existing customers online services and they may sign up for new online services, on their existing accounts, should they wish to do so.
However, from 1 January 2021, as a UK bank, we will not open new accounts, or provide any additional financial services, such as a new overdrafts to anyone who is not resident in the UK.
Please read the FAQs for more details on how these changes may impact you.
