KatieLou Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just before we left the UK in June 2015 we had a meeting with the bank (Halifax) over our existing accounts, they told us that you can keep the accounts you have but we are no longer eligible to open new accounts while living overseas. Hope this helps KatieLou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfie Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi with UK interest rates presently, your better opening a savings account here in Australia. Have a chat with your Australian bank or shop around different banks for interest rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Abery Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Opening a bank account whilst on a 457 visa will be no problem. The best you can hope for is an initial rate of about 3.5?% for a few months before dropping back to 2.??% after that. Some will have minimum monthly deposit amount and most will have maximum deposit amounts (the max is usually quite high - several hundred thousand anyway). Other banking options (including home loans) are available to 457 visa holders from some lenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
