LLOYDS TSB LAUNCHES EXPATRIATE BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT

Lloyds TSB Offshore has just launched its new Overseas Company Club – a business bank account to meet the needs of the growing expatriate community. This new service has been designed especially for those Britons living overseas who incorporate their financial affairs under the umbrella of a company or for businesses with offshore accounts.

David Oldfield, offshore banking director, Lloyds TSB, says, “We are delighted to be able to offer a bank account to those clients who need a business bank account offshore. Many of our offshore clients, for instance, who have moved overseas to work as contractors, are advised to set themselves up as a limited company. We can now offer clients the trusted expertise of Lloyds TSB for their personal banking and provide for all their financial requirements under one roof.”

A key element of the Club is the dedicated Overseas Company Club managers, who visit clients all over the world, offering financial guidance and support based on the specific circumstances faced by their clients.
