Does First Alliance Bank of Luton (in UK) really exist?

LOL..\nUnlikely! I have never heard of them. The UK banking industry is tightly regulated and most of the banks are national or international groups such as HSBC, Natwest, Barclays, Abbery, Bank of Scotland etc.\nThe FSA regulates banking in the UK: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/

There are none specifically for Maestro cards,  but Barklay's bank (on Kampala road, and in Garden city shopping mall, and a few other locations) and Standard Chartered bank (in Lugogo mall and near Post office) both take international atm cards.  I always go to the atms at those banks to use my visa atm card from the U.S.

Is this a UK company?  I looked on The Companies House website where all companies must file accounts as 'Ispat' is not found!!

ur question should be, which bank does not offer.....

Yes.\n\nI have a link to it on my website - bankrate.com.\n\nIt is okay - but not always very thorough - depending on where you live. Click on the compare rates tab (on top) and then answer the questions - state, city - and you will have a comparison.\n\nUse it as a guide - think about how you will use your account and bank, and let that help you choose.\n\nFor instance: Need a bank with atms near where I work and play, need a bank that is open when I can get there, need a bank that doesn't charge me for checking, need a bank that is easy to get in and out of, need a bank with helpful staff, etc...you know what you need\n\nGood luck

All the information raises some questions:\n\nIts website states that Wealc was incorporated and is headquartered in London, however there is no mention in its website of any London Office. Also the website domain (wealc.com) is registered to a "LR" with address in New Mexico. \n\nThe only information that someone could find on wealc is coming from its own website, surely an 8 years old World Coalition which works internationally with governments such as the English, German and Canadian would be mentioned more, would it not?

It depends what you want it for. ALl our major banks offer various competing products and are mostly country wide, unlike in some other countries. \nIf you want to compare their bank rates go to USwitch or a similar website and compare the specific bank product you are interested in.\n\nPersonally I would stay clear of HSBC and Lloyds as they bothe screwed me around!

I would try Chase.  They are everywhere!  And, I believe they just took over Bank One.  (At least all the Bank Ones here in Columbus just changed to Chase.)  The Chase website shows two branches in Wooster and 28 branches in Rochester.

It doesn't look like they have one.  Not all small i-banks have them, especially if they're just a boutique firm.  Call them up if you want more information about them.

If in UK. Consult a Independent Financial Adviser. The first interview is free they can survey the entire market place and get you the best deal for you. Just put in IFA and the area you live in to your tool bar and it will give you a list of people to contact. Some of the best companies only deal through independents

First Direct is the first bank to put a few onto it's standard current account if you don't make deposits of 1,500 a month (basically if you don't get paid into that account then they charge you to have it)\n\nIt's now widely expected for most banks to follow this idea sooner or later.\n\nYou'll get a letter from your bank explaining this, if they change it without telling you then it's illegal.

I was unable to locate any reference to such company on BBB, US and UK government records, or major search engines.\n\nIf this is a scam, which is possible, it is not widespread to trigger any news, or records yet.

You can ring the Northern Bank in Belfast and ask for customer services. They'll either post it out if you pay by visa or whatever or you can buy over their website.

Why don`t you try one of the building societies, some of them have `current a/cs ` where you can have a cheque book but can only write out cheques to the value of the a/c, I am not sure exactly how it works, they may counter-sign the cheques. Sorry I am not very helpful. Ring them up and get details.

Why not? More importantly I will be concerned with the reliability of such a service. Since the bank will be holding a money pool, I will expect it to be registered with the local government and have a certain amount of capital locked in as collateral.

I have an account with ING direct, but I've since abandoned it in favor of Emigrant Direct and HSBC.  I was very pleased with ING, but their interest rate on savings is no longer competitive.
