Weatherbys runs a named team of private bankers for US citizens living and working in the UK, which is as close to an open invitation as this market offers. It says it does not ask clients to invest with it in order to open an account, so there is no entry minimum; the cost is the monthly fee unless you hold £350,000 with them.

Weatherbys publishes rates for all eighteen of its deposit accounts, unusually open for a private bank, though they are available to Weatherbys clients only. It is also the bank on this site with a named team for US citizens, so the relationship is the easiest here to start. The US taxes the interest as ordinary income.

Weatherbys Private Bank

Accepts US citizens
Updated

The only lender on this page that names you outright. Weatherbys runs a team with experience supporting US citizens living and working in the UK, and will lend against a main home. It publishes no rates, no minimum loan and no maximum loan to value, and says it does not rely on credit scoring, so the terms only become real once you speak to a banker.

Direct with a private banker · no published minimum loan

Account Terms The catch
Residential mortgage
Rate as of
 Nothing is published: no rate, no minimum loan and no maximum loan to value, with every case priced individually. Weatherbys runs dollar and euro currency accounts and carries the standard warning that a change in the exchange rate can increase the sterling equivalent of your debt, but it does not confirm a dollar-denominated mortgage in its published material.
