Euro business bank accounts & company credit cards
Discussion
Any pointers in the right direction appreciated!
I'm looking for a euro bank account - preferably with an on-line banking facility, but I suspect that might be slightly ambitious!
The problem is: we currently bank with Abbey - who don't offer euro bank accounts. I find this slightly surprising following their buy-out by Banco Santander, but all news from Abbey themselves is that they don't plan to offer euro accounts at present.
All other major High St banks have told me that, in order to have a euro account, we must also have a sterling account.
I've also tried CitiBank, but they don't offer a business euro account either.
Surely there must be a provider out there who can help?!
Secondly, I'm after company credit cards - we could obviously get these from our bankers, but they may not necessarily be on the best terms or rate. We don't want Amex either as we've found some places don't accept this card.
Does anyone know of a provider who offers corporate credit cards to companies who don't place all their other banking with them?
Any advice greatly appreciated!

It seems crazy to me too, since we're so "Europe driven" that I can't get a simple bl**dy euro bank account!
I'm also trying to set up an additional sterling account with our existing bankers - the forms are ridiculous - all to do with the new money laundering rules I guess, but it's just painful and so time-consuming!
I'm just trying to avoid the hassle of having to open another sterling account (that will never get used)with an alternative bank just in order to get a euro account.
