Cookiecrew Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Try Westpac, Commonwealth, ANZ or St George. Think they all have websites and not sure about Manchester but some of them have branches in London. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Baggo's Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You can open a commonwealth bank account in the uk (London 0207 710 3593) and your account will be opened ready for you when you arrive. You get just a good a rate as Ozforex and really simple - just moved some funds which will be in our account here in 2 days. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
