Hi all.. i need a little help from ex pats from uk.

Im currently in the uk , travelling on 9th may to basically spend most of my time in thailand on a marriage visa, my marriage visa just expired, so i have to re apply, no problem there.

The issue i have is my bank, santander, theyve gave me a nightmare whilst in thailand the last year. Theyre telling me i have to report to them every 90 days, they actually froze my account last year and i dont want the same hassle i had again.

So im asking if anyone can recommend a bank in the uk i can use, fully closing my santander accounts.

Thank you. Ray

I just found out that my UK bank (Co-op) only facilitates foreign money transfers by telephone, so possibly time to move my accounts, any expats recommend any particular banks for online transfers? I use Wise for small amounts but I'm thinking of the 800k and monthly 65k, can I use Wise for those?
