1st Contact Relocation: Terms & Conditions

For us to assist you in making your move to the UK is a smooth as possible, please ensure that you adhere to the following terms and conditions.

To qualify for this service, you are required to hold a relevant visa or passport that allows you to live and work in the UK. If you are on a UK visa, you will need to have at least 6 or more months validity on it to qualify.
1st Contact/Sable International works in partnership with several high street banks and is bound by their compliance requirements. Periodically banks review their account opening procedures and they can sometimes be subject to change. You must adhere to the requirements of the bank at all times. The bank will have absolute discretion to approve or reject an application for a UK bank account. Any visa holders who are issued a visa and a BRP card must be in possession of their BRP card to attend their bank appointment. If the BRP card has not been issued before your appointment, the appointment will need to be cancelled and re-booked for a later stage.
The various bank accounts available through our service have different fee structures and separate terms and conditions. The various bank accounts may also have different documentation and opening requirements. 1st Contact/Sable International will take reasonable steps to ensure you access your preferred bank account; however, we reserve the right to book clients into an appointment with any of our banking partners
To open a bank account, you will need a UK residential address. You cannot use the address of a hostel, hotel or bed and breakfast. For identification and verification purposes you will be required to meet personally with a representative at the bank to set up your personal bank account. The bank branches are all located in the central London area (City of Westminster/City of London). The UK mobile phone SIM card number allocated as part of the Package is only held for 30 days after your advised UK arrival date. After that time, 1st Contact/Sable International reserves the right to reallocate the number to another customer
All customers will be charged in Great British Pounds (GBP). Regardless of the currency used for payment, 1st Contact/Sable International uses a merchant/acquiring bank in the United Kingdom and this may result in your bank levying a small percentage charge on the value of the transaction. This may apply to credit or debit cards. If you are not sure please contact your card issuer for more details.
