DeputyDog Posted Tuesday at 05:39 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:39 AM My UK bank is no longer letting me trade online as I'm based in Thailand and cannot confirm a UK postal address. I've tried a few sites, but it seems impossible without a verified UK address. Can open app account such as Toro but don't want that as I will be subject to exchange penalizing exchange rates when buying and selling as funding will be from GBP Debit card..

Mike Lister Posted Tuesday at 05:44 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:44 AM Take a trip back and open an account with Hargreaves Lansdowne, you only need to be in the UK temporarily to do it. Then turn round and come back! I trade weekly and it works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a look at HL but UK address was a prerequisite for opening an account with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted Tuesday at 06:13 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:13 AM Open an account with Interactive Brokers (USA) or Saxo (Singapore) or Swissquote (formerly Internaxx, Luxembourg) using your Thai address. All provide access to the London Stock Exchange. (There are similar brokers, but for these three I've personally held an account.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so, address can be anywhere, only pre-requisite is that you must be in the UK, when the account is opened, even if only visiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Foxx.. submitted the application with Saxo, all straight forward enough. Just waiting on Saxo coming back and confirming everything is okay..
