E-tailing in North America

If you’re based in North America, we can set up receiving bank accounts for you in France, Germany, Canada, the USA and the UK.

How it works

First, you’ll need to open an account with us and let us know the countries you’d like receiving accounts in. We will set these up for you and send you balance notifications for each account by email every Monday.

The email will ask you if you want to HOLD or SEND the funds. If you hold, we’ll keep them in your account at no cost. If you send, we’ll direct the funds to your domestic bank account, minus our charges (these are detailed below).

Alternatively, you can simply arrange to have your balance transferred automatically every week or month, providing the balance is greater than the transfer threshold of £500/EUR500/$1000.

You can contact us any time during UK office hours - 8.30am - 5.30pm GMT - for a live balance, statement, or to request a transfer.
