;) Thanks for your advice everyone. How do I go about opening an account from the UK and do they only want a nominal fee to open it?

hi Missvee,
it is fairly easy to open an account.
the national bank have an overseas applicants link which allows you to apply for an account. i think they then ask for ID to be faxed.
I would have done this but there was a an NZ immigration expo on - believe one is coming up soon back in UK? - and there were 2 or 3 banks looking for customers at this. I had my passport/driver licence etc and was able to open up an account pretty much there and then.
And the good news was i dint need to make any deposit at the time or tell them i would be depositing at least X amount when i got here.
as i said this was for national bank but i think most banks have a link on their website to allow account applications from overseas/immigrants.
