US persons: held to 80% loan to value without indefinite leave, and no dollar salary

Citizenship is not the test, but the deposit is. Non-EEA applicants are held to 80% loan to value unless an underwriter agrees otherwise, need two years living here and either indefinite leave to remain or a skilled worker visa with three months to run, and a salary paid in any currency other than sterling is refused.

Account names link to the provider's own site. momo has no active affiliate partnerships; if that changes it will be disclosed and will never change a verdict. Every institution, A to Z.

Confirm your own position with a cross-border specialist. Acceptance policies and tax rules change, and your facts may differ from the general case. Rates and terms here are the provider's published figures rather than an offer, and the provider decides each application on its own criteria. Use this as a map, not a ruling. Last checked .

FATCA

FATCA makes UK banks report accounts held by US persons to the IRS. It is not a tax; it is a reporting trail. Where it bites is access.
