ETCi have a special relationship with a well-known UK bank.
For a small administration fee ETCi can ease your transition to the UK by opening a bank account on your behalf.
We can perform this service before you arrive in the UK (providing that you have a UK address, even if temporary) to ensure that you get paid as soon as possible after you start work in the UK or to allow you to deposit any large sums of money straight away, providing peace of mind from day 1.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to visit a branch as soon as possible after arrival to verify your identity* in order to receive your bank details and card.
If you would like ETCi to open a bank account on your behalf please send us your cheque made payable to “ETCi Ltd” along with a copy of your passport and your contact details at home and in the UK.
Bank forms will be issued once payment is received and cleared. You must then complete the relevant sections and return the ORIGINAL copies to us.
ETCi will then open your bank account and send you the id verification letters.
Please specify whether you would like these sent to your home, UK or employer’s address.
UK Employers: Please contact us if you have a new intake of staff you require bank accounts for, even if they were not recruited through ETCi.
Please contact bank@etci.co.uk for further information.
Identity theft is a growing problem in the UK so verification of identity by a qualified member of bank staff is a non-negotiable part of this process.
