Howdy All,
I am new here. I wish I had found this forum before I had moved to the UK and went through the whole visa process.
My wife and I had made some serious mistakes along the way. Anyhow after a long and expensive visa process we are married and I living in the UK.
I am still working for a US based company I have been with for the last 7 years and they are still paying money into my US bank account. Now accessing funds from this account can be a real hassle and expensive with all the additional charges because of international transaction fees and the like.
Now what I wanted to do was open a bank account here and have my paychecks direct deposited directly into my UK account instead of my US account but that is not doable.
So my question is how can I easily get money from the US to a UK bank account to help save on fees? Does anyone know of a good international bank where I could have the money direct deposited and still be accessible here in the UK without a ton of fees?
Thanks,
Ron
