Sending money whilst living in the Phils.

If you were to live in Philippines, HSBC UK would open an account for you at HSBC Philippines, that sounds good.
I couldn't see anything about a minimum 60K balance on the HSBC website.

I was looking at the Premiere account for moving abroad, it says
To qualify for Premier, you simply need to save or invest £60,000 (or currency equivalent) with HSBC Bank International. Ready to apply?

I will have another look at this.

Thanks to all as I now have a couple of viable options.

Maybe you all could answer my next question on having to have a departure flight booked. I will open it as another post.
