    Personal accounts in the UK with a British payment system for non-residents

    Notice blue

    In addition to traditional banks, payment system also allow making money transfers and performing other financial operations. Please apply for our assistance in opening an account with a UK payment system in a safe and prompt manner! You can also pick other financial institutions in foreign countries.

    Cooperation with the British payment system is preferable to setting up an account with a traditional foreign bank for several reasons. These include the following ones:

    • A non-resident of the country will have much less trouble when opening an account with the Payment Service Provider (PSP) rather than a traditional bank.
    • All operations are performed via the Internet, that is, remotely: account opening, money transfers, bank card acquisition, etc.
    • Payment systems are not obliged to follow the CRS rules. For this reason, the information about the PSP clients’ balances remains undisclosed.
    uk payment system

    A user-friendly interface, round-the-clock client support service, individual approach to every customer, a wide range of national currencies that you can use to make payments, a contactless bank card – the British payment system boasts numerous advantages indeed. Offshore Pro Group experts will be delighted to help you set up an account with the British PSP.

    Personal accounts in the UK

    Quick facts about the British payment system

    The payment system has been working since 2016. It has been created by 40 specialists in the fields of banking services, IT, and marketing. Each of them brought vast experience when the system was created. The company that the PSP belongs to was registered in Great Britain in December 2015.  

    • The British payment system has two offices: one in Riga and another one in London. 
    • All services are provided via the Internet. 
    • The British payment gateway holds a PCI DSS version 3.1 Certificate, which serves as a confirmation of its spotless reputation and high reliability. The Certificate allows making an unlimited number of bank card transactions.
    • You can use your computer or your smartphone to access the banking application. 

    British PSP services for private customers

    Non-residents of Great Britain are entitled to open personal accounts with the payment system in euros, US dollars, pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, and 30 other national currencies. You can use any of these currencies to make money transfers, top up your account, and exchange one currency into another.

    In addition to a current account, you can open a savings account with the British PSP or make a fixed-term deposit and earn some money on the interest.

    A personal account with the British payment system 

    A non-resident of the UK can set up an account with the PSP remotely and make payments to any place in the world. All you need is a computer-like device and internet connection.

    Customers holding accounts with the British payment system enjoy the following opportunities:

    • An opportunity to make international payments in more than 30 currencies;
    • Connection to SEPA Instant and Open Banking API; 
    • An opportunity to acquire account statements and export the transaction history to .pdf files;
    • Guaranteed security of the account: a two-factor authentication system is used to log onto the account – an email message and a message to the mobile phone;
    • The member area on the website is easy to use.

    A personal account with the British PSP should be an especially attractive opportunity for freelancers working internationally. They can make and receive payments in various national currencies.

    A current account with the British payment system

    A current account is an account that you use for everyday payments. Your account with the British PSP will have an IBAN that you are going to keep until you want to close your account. The account number can always be found in the member’s area and the same goes for all other account details required for SEPA and SWIFT payments. All you have to do is enter the currency and make the payment.
