Hi guys,

Has anyone used a postal address provided by a corporate service in the UK.

Contributors here have recommended keeping an address for their UK bank accounts in the UK, with a trusted relation or friend's address, to avoid having their banks restricting functionality available to them due to being registered outside the UK.

I do not want the functionality of my accounts in the UK restricted so my address with those banks in the UK with a friend. It might be more convenient to use a professional address service that forwards post automatically rather than bothering my friend to forward the mail now and then.

Does anyone have experience of using a postal service rather than the private address of a relative or friend to keep their banking going as is? Which one did you use? Does it work or is it better to continue with a friend posting on mail? Address services seem like something that bank AI might check as standard, do they?

I have a Thai bank account registered to my address in Thailand which I also use for HMRC and other stuff.

Many thanks for views in advance,

KR to all

I highly recommend "myukpost.com"

£12/month + £;s when posts etc are forwarded.

Thanks, do UK high street banks question whether a user of the myukpost service is UK resident & therefore eligible for standard facilities in of UK banks? Perhaps postal services do not draw extra scrutiny of where users live - do you know if they do or not? Thanks again.

You need to sign up while you still have a verifiable UK address with two references.
