Thats a £GB account though, right?I went up Ulster Bank in Newry with passport and 2 utility bills, but you can open an account over the phone too.

Thanks for confirmation. I opened one when I was up that direction a few weeks ago - but they wouldn't do a euro account. I have not done anything with it just yet...thinking maybe trying to source a euro a/c somewhere would be best.Correct.
Hmm...I better give them a call then. When opening the a/c in Newry - I asked straight out if it was possible to have euro a/c - and was given a flat 'no' in response...Strange??I had no problems opening account with ulster bank up north-I opened an ulster bank euro account with Newry just over the phone....had to send up proof of address etc and that was it....
For those interested in opening an account in EUROS in NI with HSBC, you do this at the following branch

The EURO accounts which can be opened by a non-resident are called One-Europe or Internation Personal Savings Account.
There are 3 types of account you can open:
current(any amount)
instant access savings(any amount)
fixed term deposit (min balance USD $10,000)
As I understand it there is a £5 a month charge on the account.
If you call the number listed and wait for options as non-customers, hit option "2" for new accounts you'll be put through to someone in the call centre who can build an initial profile for you and arrange an appointment with someone at the branch to open the account. I was told that internet banking is available but I'll confirm this after I've set up the account which I'll be doing myself shortly.
These account are not offshore but UK domiciled accounts so covered by UK guarantee.
I don't work for a bank or anything but I just thought this post might help those interested in opening such an account.
