Opening a TSB Current Account

This page contains information for non-UK EU residents.

Why choose our Cash Account?

• We're here to help make your money as convenient as we can, so you'll get all the useful things you'd expect of a current account,
• You can pay in cheques and cash in branch at our counters, Immediate Deposit Machines, cash machines and pay in boxes.
• You'll get control of your money round the clock through Internet Banking, Telephone Banking and Mobile Banking, as well as at over 550 friendly high street branches across Britain. You can also make withdrawals from any cash machine where you see the Link or Visa symbol, at home and abroad.
• There's no charge for everyday transactions as long as you're in credit - and it's easy to set up, change or cancel your standing orders and most Direct Debits online, over the phone or in branch.
• You'll also get a Visa debit card to use in shops, online, over the phone and at cash machines. And you can Save the Pennies every time you use your debit card, helping you save automatically.
• You can pay in at the Post Office in thousands of different places across the UK, but please note that not all Post Offices provide this service - check the facilities provided at your local Post Office before visiting. (Paying in cash or cheques at the Post Office is not automatic and funds will take a day longer to reach your account than the equivalent transaction at a TSB branch.)
