I tried that with FK. Which neatly describes how useful that exercise was.

I am not a UK resident, and have been investing with number of UK based platforms for sometime. Also recently opened a UK bank account without having to travel to UK. Not all UK platforms accepts non-residents but many do. Do tell which bank took you on? I'm ok but on the expat forums there are people finding it very difficult.

UK company withholding my taxes would be an international scandal. This would easily go to the EU commission and they will get a ton of trouble. I am tempted to take part in such an interesting event.

Please go ahead (once you have your UK bank account and good luck with that, do tell us how you get on).

Why would you need to be sent a private message when it comes to UK banks? I and at least one other chap on this thread are UK citizens and because we are not resident, we cannot open a normal UK bank account. You apparently can and that without even needing to visit? Why would the name of the bank be a secret? Come on, no need for the secrecy. Which UK bank will allow foreigners to open an account without so much as a visit, let alone residency?
