Information for staff on how to open a bank account and how to request an employers' letter.

Opening a Bank Account

Unless you have an international account, you will need UK bank account while living in Edinburgh.

If you can, try to contact your preferred bank before you travel. Some international banks can open an account for you in your current location and transfer it to the UK when you move.  It is sensible to arrange an appointment in advance, if you can.

If you require a letter confirming you work for the University please fill in the form below and return it to your line manager or school/department administrator.
