QUOTE(hyperzz @ Jun 13 2019, 03:48 PM) Only if you are already a Premier Banking customer with HSBC MY. From HSBC UK website: [attachmentid=10263665] Hi thank for the replying. Any idea that if only want a UK account but no premier? I was thinking, in the future if i closed the premier account in Malaysia then i still need to have fund to maintain the UK premier account, but for normal basic account i dont need to worry about that.

In general, UK banks do not open normal account for non-EU residents. Some banks, through their international division, would open account if you are wiling to deposit a large amount with them. For example: 1) HSBC Expat requires £50,000 2) Citibank UK requires £150,000 3) Lloyds Bank requires £25,000 4) Barclays Bank requires £25,000 As an alternative, the TransferWise Borderless Account is the closest option to a UK bank account for non-EU residents. With this e-money account, you can receive/transfer GBP from/to any banks in the UK, at a reasonable fee (£0.65). You can search this forum for other discussions on TransferWise (TW).
