banking
On arrival you will probably wish to open a British
bank account. Major British Banks, such as Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds TSB and
National Westminster have many branches and all offer similar services at
similar charges.
There is Lloyds TSB on campus, but your own bank may have a
special relationship with a particular bank in England and you may
prefer a bank near where you will live. We suggest you discuss arrangements with
your bank at home before you leave.
Banks tend to be open Monday to Friday, 09.30 to 15.30,
whilst some stay open until 17.30. A few open for some services on Saturday
morning. Cash machines are widely available
To open an account you will require a letter from the
University, a letter addressed to your local residence and a letter stating your
home address. Please contact International & Study Abroad Office
for further details.
