Can I Keep My Chase UK Account If I Move Abroad?

Relocating internationally often brings a flurry of logistical challenges, and managing your finances is no exception. A common question for expats considering a move is whether they can maintain their Chase UK account while residing abroad. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Current UK banking regulations prohibit Chase UK from allowing account access and maintenance for customers residing outside the UK. This restriction applies regardless of the individual’s reason for relocating or their length of absence. Maintaining an active UK bank account from a foreign location is simply not a viable option.

While this may be inconvenient, it’s a standard practice within the UK banking framework. This policy exists to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and maintain the integrity of financial transactions.

Chase UK appreciates your past business and wishes you all the best in your future endeavors. If you are moving, you will need to close your account and consider opening a new account with a financial institution in your new country of residence.
