Opening a Bank Account on Fiance Visa

I see, you just reminded me, I need to get the missus to apply for a credit card, its good to get the credit history wheels turning whether you need it or not.

Exactly, no harm in trying to maximise the rating even if it isn't required right now.

Try the Nationwide Basic Flex account

Hello @Brom27 and everyone,

Did you had any luck opening a bank account or joint account while you were under a fiance visa?

Thank you.

Was able to open a basic account with Lloyds Bank.

Thats good to know! Thank you Brom.

Hi Everyone.

Thanks @Brom27 . We will try that as well.
Any requirements?

Just proof of address then a visa that is valid more than 3 months.

Thank you @Brom27

I wonder if a brit can change an existing account to a joint account easily or easier.

my mrs opened a lloyds current a/c when she was in the uUK on her student visa (2008-12)
in 2013 she got a visit visa and spent 6 months with me. in that time she added me to her a/c.
after her return to the filis==2014, i deposited money into her a/c so she could draw it over there .

4 years on--she still has the a/c...her salary goes in to it..i draw on it for household bills.
oh--and it includes AA cover..which saves me £70 a year.
