I made sure I didn't have to worry about being on the £62,500 limit......I made sure my account had well over that in it. Just easier for me that way......and then I don't have to prove my pension income as well. As soon as the visa gets ok'd I'm likely to stick that money into a 1 year bond.....likely through the post office which gets 1.36%.......better than what I am getting through the bank.

Yeah, I didn't want to tie up even more funds for 6+ months - or bother setting up a UK bank account as a non-resident.

Take a look at the NS&I products F4mandolin, they have upped their rates recently and are as safe as you can get!

For example. Guaranteed income bond. 1.45% gross , 1 year.
                    Guaranteed growth bond. 1.50% gross, 1 year.

Thanks.....I'll take a look at that. There are a couple on the moneysupermarket site that are quoting 1.75% or so........but.......they aren't exactly big dependable well known names.

Unfortunately US Citizens cannot buy these.  Have a look at paragraph 23 and 24 from their brochures. (F4Mandolin is a USC)

Forgot about that.  Has it not been challenged yet on the grounds of being discriminatory?

In my wife's name would be ok?

Yes, that would certainly be okay.

Yes, and the reason given is that the cost to the UK taxpayer in NS&I becoming FATCA compliant would be unjustified. This was in a letter from an MP in response to an inquiry on this.

Premium bonds do not have this exclusion so perhaps NS&I don’t report winners to the IRS. Do you feel lucky?

Listen, do I come over there and threadjack you investment-heads?

I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

Maybe you should. Talking about a .1% swing on savings is considered pretty exciting there. You could shake things up a bit ;)

Count me among the few  ;)

I have a couple of small private pensions, and in a few years my wife and I will be getting our OAP, but the vast majority of our income comes from our US pensions and retirement accounts.

Same. At present, all my income comes from the States. When I draw social security, they will send it to me here, but it'll still be based on the dollar.

So, if I read everything correctly, the "cutoff date" for people to have been here to be covered under the EU citizen terms is Brexit date (in March of 2019)?

And I think I've also heard that there is to be a vote in Parliament to accept the terms or not?

So, it's a proposed deal, not a done deal by any stretch?

I'm probably one of the few people on this site that likes a low Pound.....

All of our income is in dollars. We voted against Brexit but it made our new bathroom quite a bit cheaper.  ::)
