oh sorry sis we're not using Xoom..we're using Natwest Debit Card..Originally Posted by DianaKevy
hhmmm i see. we have abbey debit card and we've tried sending money thru abbey and its just that the charges is too high. just imagine 25 pounds fix to any amount of money sent. pang hold up diba?
yeah its too expensive sis..have u tried ung Nationwide??most of our friends here recommended it..so far we don't have any problems with Natwest sis we've been using it since I was still there in the Phils..
AS IN
no comments,coz until now i didnt try to open a bank account here in uk since the first time that i arrive here and up to now.me & my hubby tryed it b4 to open my bank account here or even joint account,but i have no chance.they said,i cant until im not yet a b.ctzen.thats why i always use W.Union to send some money to my children.
Couldn't open a bank account because you weren't a British Citizen? Which bank was that? You ought to try a different bank.
When my wife only had FLR the only trouble she had opening a bank account was providing two acceptable forms of ID. What we did in the end was to apply for a provisional driving license, and then use that along with her passport.
I would like to state im in no way connected to them but if you need to open a bank account either HSBC or PNB should be able to help you.
You dont need to be a British citzen or even a resident.
You need a passport and proof of address the actual proof accept will vary but i know my wife was accept with HSBC with her passport and a utlity bill in both our names.
and now that I am working here most of my salary are debited there by my employer..
its barclay bank.my hubby has an account with them for more than 30 years.thats why we dicide also to open an account for me or joint account,but like what i said b4 they didnt allowed me until im not a british citizen yet.and since then, we didnt try again to open an account to any bank here in uk.
Barclays allowed my wife to open an account with them whilst she only had FLR. You must have got a (junior?) member of staff who didn't understand their rules.
ill try to check xoom coz we usually use money gram...
..there is one way to true and lasting peace....THAT WAY IS GOD'S WILL
and its a litle bit cheaper he just send it to post office but when i claim it here in bdo its a money gram.. i think its 12/15 pounds every 100 pounds..
... as opposed to £5 for up to £1000, and £7 for up to £10,000
when using PNB.
Barclays is so strict...i tried too but they only let me have a cash card which have limited services and can only be use here in uk and on there cash machine they say that if i have a regular pay or money coming in they will upgrade it....
Try using http://www.suremoney.swift-cash.com/ they only charge 5 t0 6 pounds...
thats good than moneygram..... as opposed to £5 for up to £1000, and £7 for up to £10,000
when using PNB.
my remittance charge me £5 up to £2,000.00
all things are possible!
