European Business Accounts....

[Jnr]

Hi,

I currently bank with Barclays and have both a Sterling account and a Euro account.....
However, i am not able to accss the Euro account online which is a massive pain in the ar$e for me...

Does anybody know of a bank that can let you accss a Euro account online.... Or is it possible to open business accounts in France and Spain even though I'm a UK business????

Thanks..

I use Nat West as well as Barclays, and with Nat West you can get BankLine software, which will give you access to Currency accounts.

Barclays have BusinessMaster Online just recently and they give you this USB card for your PC. Also you can access currency accounts.

If you need to do CHAPS payments, this is also possible but costs extra per month. I think I pay about £30 (if you have lots of accounts, you can negotiate) a month for barclays and £10 a month for Nat West (dont have CHAPS for Nat West though).

Both personal and corporate accounts are easy enough to set up in Spain (Banco Santander and Caja Madrid). But its probably easier to just get the software above! lol, if you do need any further info on setting up an account, let me know.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the reply, i will have a look into the Business Master software from Barclays.

What I don't understand is that when I questioned Barclays about being able to view my euro account online they just said 'sorry, not possible!'
