When I was last in New York, they asked me for a Social Security Number. Maybe that's because I was waving my American passport at them though
LOL yes.
I just had to produce a couple of forms of ID and a bill, simple as that. Took about 30 minutes to do.

Pretend it's called Halifax.
That's worst, bloody Northeners. What with their flat caps and whippets.
Has anybody started a ABN's group???
And what's wrong with whippets???

just been havin a quick look around, HSBC give a 0.75% interest on the USD currency account and have quite a lot of charges to go with it. On the other hand Halifax/Royal Bank Of Scotland whatever you wanna call the place doesn't seem to charge anything and gives 2.18% interests on accounts with less than $40k.
Looks like im visiting my local halifax tomorrow.

grrrrr damn Halifax... didn't know what I was talking about.
He had to phone up International whatsit department (I dunno, sounded like Thunderbirds to me) only to then tell me I can have a $$ account, but only if I first open a ££ account first as well [existing customers only] - so I would have to have two accounts there?

It won't cost you 'owt to open a stirling account too, and you probably get a free pen.

This account sounds cool.
Woman I spoke to in the Halifax knew nothing but after asking her to check with a colleague it seems that you have to go into a Bank of Scotland branch to open it and can't do it at the Halifax. Obviously there are less Bank of Scotland branches about than Halifax and I can't even find a list on their stupid website - though I know there is one in birmingham.
Even the Halifax staff didn't know where my nearest Bank of Scotland branch was. Doh!

Yeah, there's a Bank of Scotland in the Bullring I think. The side of it that is quite near New Street Station.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.
Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.

As I understand it (v tenuous!) there is a possibility that this is due to the merger being a new one; and hopefully in the not too distant future the two halves will be able to coexist with a little more 'user-friendliness'...

Did they not merge about 3/4 years ago though?
They're all too busy auditioning for adverts is my theory.

Guy behind desk in local branch (with no access to BOS website, only Halifax Intranet) told me it was a recent merger.

Maybe he is a geologist, and speaks in relative terms.
I think they've had ample time to sort their arses oot.
