I have a bank account! Barclays for the win... It took 45 minutes, I walked in on a busy Saturday without an appointment, and they made a space for me. These are some of the things they did not need from me:
Previous bank statements
A utility bill
My flight details
Any form of proof of address
In fact all they wanted was my name, number, address and passport, Barclays have organised a current account for me, which allows me to use my debit card everywhere, for free, they even opened a savings account for me.
My personal favorite was when the manager of the bank came out of her office to welcome me to her bank, she gave me her personal business card and asked me to call if I ever feel unhappy with the service.
Barclays for the win
Haha, special welcome for being a foreigner.
