US bank account

Hi folks, hopefully just a relatively quick question for folks out there. I am a US citizen resident in the UK. I have maintained a US bank account. I never touch it or bring money into the UK. I was just wondering if I need to declare this account to HMRC?

Only the interest is taxable. Money in the account is just money in the account. Any savings etc. that you had before you came to the UK is generally not taxable...unless of course we are talking millions that you remit to the UK

I've maintained an account in the US and will continue to do so. I declare the interest on the 'foreign pages' of my self-assessment. The account is used for personal expenses when I make the annual visit to see family, and will ultimately be used for distributions from my IRA (which will also be taxed here on the arising basis). There's no FBAR equivalent if that's your concern.
