FRENCH
BANK ACCOUNTS,SPANISH BANK ACCOUNTS and
BANK ACCOUNTS ABROAD
Opening
your foreign bank account is generally fairly straightforward.
Internet banking has made a bank account
abroad very easy to manage.
You can arrange all the transactions
from your computer in the UK -
sometimes even in English!
Eventually,
your bank account
will hold standing orders for all the
regular expenses incurred in running
your new home-
water
, electricity , telephone , community charges and property taxes.
The
charges made for transactions vary substantially from bank to bank,
so check out several banks before deciding.
Although in the end,
the availability of a site in English may be your top priority.
TOP
TIP
Particularly
important are the costs for the transfer of money overseas.
You will need to do this every time
you make a payment from your income
in the UK to your bank account abroad.
If you have a foreign mortgage, that
will be every month!
