many thanks
I am not sure how relevant my situation is, but I have my company pension and my U.S. Social Security benefit direct deposited into my brokerage account in the U.S., but I could do almost the same thing with a commecial bank.

I have a U.S. mailing address with a mail forwarder, and a domestic telephone number, via Skype. With these things I can maintain my U.S. credit cards, use electronic bill-pay for U.S. bills, and wire money to my bank in my current country, to pay local bills. I don't really trust the banking system in Central America and only keep enough cash here for ATM cash, and a bit of cheque writing.

I would imagine that you could do the same in the UK.
