Hi Jill,
There is a thread on the forum regarding opening bank accounts. HSBC can be opened at this end in the UK. The forms are available online and, I believe you just walk in to any HSBC business centre local to you and can open the account. It does state that $200 US Dollars is required to open the account, when I phoned HSBC they told me that we don't have to use US dollars and can open with the equivalent in GBP. If you go to the HSBC website, International section, all the information is there
