This would entirely be your own personal choice. Conceptually, this is similar to asking which Indian bank is better ? Probably, one thing you can look for before choosing a bank is if they offer better interest rate / any special offers for new customers (I m sure each bank has different offers that scores over other banks).samsung wrote:Friends,
Am on Tier 1 in the UK from India. Would like to open a Bank Account.
Should i be looking for Any specific user friendly bank or i can go and open account in any bank.
The banks i know are Abbey, Barclays, HSBC, Halifax, Natwest.
Please let me know which is the best bank to open an account.
Backup account? nothing its a matter of person choice/preference i.e. how many credit or debit cards you want to carry. The other reason for a back-up account could be to distribute your funds to more than one bank to benefit from FSA's guarantee for savings upto GBP50,000.samsung wrote:Hi Nabeel,
Thanks for your inputs. Excuse my ignorance, but what purpose would a backup account serve,how can i use this account.. I mean if i open an account with HSBC, should i also go for the other account.
So, i guess i ll go with HSBC then, as many ppl prefer this bank here. I thought of Barclays though , maybe i can open it as a Backup as Nebeel mentioned before.
Would advise you to choose a bank which has a branch near to where you live/work.samsung wrote:Friends,

Savings accounts in the UK can be restrictive as they do not allow regular outgoing transactions.samsung wrote:Hey friends got a little confused in here. In india we normally have a salary account and it is a savings account. So, whats the deal in UK, i mean if i go to a bank instead of a savings account should i go for a current account.
what about savings account then, is there any pre requisites for that.
If i have a job, can the salary be credited in either of the current or savings account, or any specific account i shoud have..
