Our company introduces clients
to UK
Barclays Bank.
Location
Branches
are located in Isle of Man,
London, UK and Cyprus. We recommend the Isle
of Man branch. It offers the most advanced online banking services.
Banking
Services Available
The
bank offers current and savings accounts.
Credit
and Debit Cards
Credit
cards are not available for clients who are less than 1 year with the
bank.
Debit
cards are available. The bank issues Visa Electron for each opened
account. This card may be used the same way as a regular
Visa credit card including online payments. No
security deposit is required for the debit card.
Required
Corporate Documents
Our company
prepares all required corporate documents according to bank requirements. If we made an
error in the documents, we will correct it at our expense and submit the
corrected documents to the bank. No single application of our
clients has ever been rejected due to problems with corporate documents.
Required Personal Documents and Information
-
A certified copy of the valid passport (pages containing photo, signature
and personal details)
-
Evidence of residential address (an original bank statement or credit card
statement with individual’s name and residential address)
-
Second evidence of residential address (an original bank statement or
credit card statement with individual’s name and residential address)

Personal
Curriculum Vitae
-
Absolutely clear and detailed description of company's current and/or
planned business.
The
above documents and information are mandatory. The
bank could request any additional information and documents at its
discretion. If
the documents and/or information are not provided by the client, such
application will be rejected by the bank.
Initial Deposit and Minimum
Balance
In June 2007 the bank introduced an initial deposit requirement of
£5000 or the currency equivalent. The
bank allows 28 days from the opening of the account for funds to be
transferred. Failure to remit the initial deposit may result in closure of the account.
There is no a minimum balance requirement.
The initial deposit
of £5000 can be used by the
customer at any time and does not need to be held as a minimum balance on
the account. Therefore, once a client has ensured all account fees can be
covered by the daily run of trade though his account, he could use the
funds for his business needs or open a savings account and transfer his
funds from the current account to the savings account.
Personal
Visit
No
personal visit to the bank is required. You will be required to send the
documents directly to the bank by courier (preferable) or mail.
Account management
Clients
manage their accounts through a very sophisticated Internet banking. Clients could also manage
accounts over the
phone, fax and mail.
