US persons: twelve months here, an approved profession, and a 10% deposit that cannot be gifted

Suffolk gates on what you do rather than where you are from. You need twelve months living and working here, a visa with a year left, and a job in education, healthcare, finance, IT, law or science research, or a professional role in marketing, energy or construction. The rule that bites hardest is the deposit: at least 10%, and none of it can be a gift.

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.
