So UK banks are able to open account for non-resident owners for there company registered in UK?
I have been having difficulties in finding email address to drop an email to concerned persons in major banks to assist in opening account..
Most of the banks sites have online form, which mostly asks questions in related to UK, being myself not resident in UK. So is there any way or any site which lists contact of direct specialists in major banks?
