"Whilst we value the relationships we’ve built, we’ve made a strategic decision to focus our attention and resources mainly in the UK and to reduce the number of countries in which we operate.

I'm with Halifax and overseas, you can keep your account but they restrict the products you can use. No CC, fixed term accounts, access to share dealing etc.
Halifax allows limited bank accounts for non UK residents, not open to new expats though. I have been overseas with them for 25 years. No CC, ATM card only.
