From opening a bank account to transferring money, filing tax or arranging cover, each area below has its own checked list of providers and guidance for new arrivals.
Accountants and tax-preparation services, including specialists in expat and dual-country tax — for self-assessment, HMRC filings and staying compliant at home and in the UK.
High-street banks offering current and savings accounts — the traditional route, though most ask for proof of address and ID to open an account.
Credit cards for spending, rewards and building a UK credit history — useful for new arrivals who arrive without a domestic credit footprint.
Bureaux and services for exchanging currency at competitive rates — for travel money and converting funds you bring with you.
Regulated advisers who help with planning, investments, pensions and protection — valuable when navigating an unfamiliar financial system.
Broader financial products and tools — from lending and budgeting apps to credit-builder services — to help you manage money in the UK.
Insurers covering home, contents, life and more, including providers that work with people new to the UK who lack a long local history.
App-based banks that are often quicker to open than high-street accounts — a popular first account for new arrivals while settling in.
International transfer services for sending and receiving money across borders — usually cheaper and faster than a traditional bank transfer.
Pension and investment providers, including help with transferring or consolidating overseas pensions and building long-term savings in the UK.
