Bank Account in UK


I have been told on how hard it is for a foreigner to set up a bank account in UK. They usually require previous bank statements, uk home address etc and takes up to a month to set it up. Following a tip from a friend, I realised that it is possible to open a uk bank accout from your home country. I opened my HSBC UK account at the HSBC International Banking Center at Claymore Plaza, Singapore. This saves me a lot of hassle cos I would have a bank account up and running by the time I go to UK. I also need to bring a lot less cash!
