BOVF branch
Singapore
Singapore’s British community is largely working professionals with UK financial affairs to maintain and children approaching university age. Fee status and bank account closures are raised more often here than anywhere else in our network.

What matters most here
Every branch works on all eight key issues. These are the ones raised most often in Singapore.
Higher Education and University Fees
British children raised abroad are routinely classified as international students at UK universities, paying several times the home rate despite holding UK citizenship.
UK Bank Accounts
UK banks increasingly close or refuse accounts held by citizens with an overseas address, cutting people off from pensions, mortgages and their own financial history.
Housing Loan Interest
British citizens living overseas are charged higher mortgage rates on UK property and shut out of most mainstream products, regardless of their income or record.
Guides for Singapore
Country-specific guides for Singapore are planned. This slot is where they will appear — see the Thailand and Italy guides for the format.
