Retire to a hot sunny climate

And why not? Having put up with the British climate for your whole working life, you deserve a place in the sun. It may be a dream, but for many it can be a reality! And as well as making a new home for yourself, you'll be needing a safe and rewarding home for your money too. That's where we come in - with a full range of offshore banking services to offer you.

Save for my return to the UK

If you've been posted overseas in your job, the chances are you'll be earning more than you did back home - and maybe paying less income tax too. In which case this could be a golden opportunity to build up your wealth. We have several savings and investment options to offer you.

Save for my retirement

If you expect to be on the international circuit for a number of years, you'd be wise to take full advantage of your extra earning power as an expatriate to build up a pension pot for your eventual retirement. We can offer you a choice of savings and deposit accounts to help you lay that nest egg.

Benefit from global banking

When you're living and working overseas, you'll want to be able to manage your finances, by phone or online, wherever you are in the world. A Gold account has all the flexibility you could ask for. You can have your account in sterling, US dollars or euros - or accounts in all three currencies, if you wish.
