any bank in the uk, provided you don't want an overdraft, credit card they don't real care about residency, my wife has a current account, no residency or citizenship for the uk, but she has assets there.

I've tried Santander, Virgin, HSBC and Barclays and all holders must be UK residents.

Just go to Barclays International which is for non-residents in the uk.

What's the purpose of the bank account? US resident will scare any bank with FATCA stuff. Best to have separate accounts and move money between them as they see fit.

Lot of ex-pat bank accounts here in Jersey...

I think you can have one below that threshold if you pay a small fee per month?

International Banking is available to you if you have £25,000 (or currency equivalent) to deposit and maintain across your accounts.

Thanks guys, just spoke with Barclays. Need to maintain £25K but not available to UK resident so can't be joint for all three kids.
