Bank Accounts

Bank accounts are notoriously difficult to open in the UK due to Financial Authority regulations, no matter what nationality you are. We work very closely with Barclays and Lloyds TSB to bring you the best possible bank account for your needs in the UK. We can assist with anything from a standard current account or high end premier account through to an offshore account with the option of three different currencies. With all the correct information we can open your account within 48 hours. This is vital for those of you starting work soon after arrival. Companies will not pay you unless you have a bank account as it is illegal to pay you cash in hand. Our research has also shown us that some banks will charge £40 to open a bank account which is more than our whole package will cost you.

National insurance

National Insurance is a tax that every person in the UK pays to the government. This entitles you to certain benefits from the government, such as health care. It is compulsory for each person living and working in the UK to have a National Insurance number and pay National Insurance. This can be a lengthy process which can take up to two weeks just to get an interview and a further 8 weeks to get your permanent NI number. This can be costly if you plan to begin work before your number is issued as you will be taxed at 40% until you receive it, this is know as emergency tax. OVC London offers a great National Insurance service that saves you time and can help you to save money too. We will organize for the NI forms that would usually be completed during your interview to be sent to your home address! This means that you will not have to go in for an interview at all. Once we have received your details, you will receive your forms within a week. It is then up to you to complete the forms and return them to the address provided with your NI package. Your NI number will then be sent to you, and OVC London will provide you with your reference number if the need arises.

Contact us on 0207 751 9611 for more information.
