A quick postal question.

Im just closing my UK accounts and Philippine accounts with HSBC, their Advance accounts are of no use to me here. Ive gone to BPI, no bank charges and no minimum balance.

Hmm, food for thought there. Thanks Jonnijon
Better do some more research I think.

My personal recommendation Peter is, keep your UK bank active and make sure you have a UK correspondence Address then you can use online banking and control your money yourself!

Hi Keith, does your UK bank insist on a UK residential contact address?
or are they sending correspondence to Philippines?
or are you totally online and 'paperless'
or something else ?

Hi Terpe, They are sending all correspondence here to the Phils. Some gets here some does'nt, I can view statements online but if I have any problems I have to phone them in UK.

Hi Keith, how come you can't print your statements off online? I printed mine off when we needed them for my wife's spouse visa!

Thanks Michael, the correspondence address requirement would be a problem for me once I leave UK
