London Banking
Banking for foreign companies investing into the UK and London real estate.
London remains a primary banking centre for international clients with UK exposure. UK banks expect institutional documentation and a clear ownership picture. Foreign investors and offshore trustees often need careful introductions to get the right banking outcomes.
Our flow runs through Channel Islands trustees, London accounting firms, fund administrators, family offices and London private wealth managers.

What we do here
We open and maintain UK bank accounts for foreign owned holding companies, UK trading subsidiaries and structures with London exposure. Most of our work is on the file preparation and bank fit side. UK banks have specific expectations on offshore beneficial owners and source of wealth, and we prepare files accordingly.
UK holding companies for foreign investors
Foreign owned UK Ltd companies used as holding entities for UK assets, joint ventures and inbound investment structures.
Account setup, treasury arrangements and ongoing administration for entities sitting at the UK end of international group structures.
UK trading subsidiaries
Operational UK Ltd companies set up by foreign multinationals for sales, services, distribution and other UK operations.
We open the operating accounts these entities need to function, including multi currency arrangements where the parent group operates internationally.
Custody for UK private wealth and family office structures
Custody platforms and supporting cash management for trusts, holding companies and family vehicles serving UHNW principals with UK exposure.
London wealth managers and private banks place the custody banking with us. The investment mandate sits with the wealth manager appointed by the structure.
Fund vehicles and SPVs with UK assets
UK bank accounts for offshore fund vehicles and SPVs holding UK property, infrastructure or operating company exposures.
Fund administrators and corporate service providers placing accounts at UK banks. Capital flows, distributions and financing arrangements.

Senior debt for London property structures.
London real estate transactions sit at the intersection of two banking demands. The bank account that holds and moves the cash. The financing facility that funds the acquisition or refinances the existing position. Most London property work involves some combination of both.
We work with UK banks active in London real estate finance, alongside international lenders willing to lend on London property. The structures we see range from SPVs administered by offshore trustees, to direct foreign owned holding companies, to listed property vehicles. We open the operating accounts these structures need and place the senior debt facilities with banks that fit the structure profile. Refinancing existing positions sits squarely in this work.
