Barclays said that my wife & I couldn't have a joint account (their policy was not to give accounts to people who had been in the UK for less than 2 years). We went to HSBC & opened an account without any problems.

This was 6 years so Barclay's policy might have changed.

Sorry for selective reading, just checked quickly the forum.

I wonder if Ms. Pia does or doesn't have work?

My hubby opened a bank account as he arrived here in the UK early this year and he was approved to open an account with debit card even without any previous bank accounts in the UK. We just presented his passport, visa, tenancy agreement with his name as one of the tenants and contract from his employer.

Unfortunately, Pia is still in da Phils. Not coming for perhaps another 6 weeks or so. That seems like a really easy way of getting an account.
