Everybody at Solbank speaks in English, I have been with them for five years and although they are helpful they are expensive. We are in the process of moving to Barclays, they are new to the island and are bending over backwards to help Brits open bank accounts. They will even fight your corner on unfair or illegal charges from your previous bank. If you thought that banks in the UK were a rip-off wait until you open a bank account here - charging like wounded bulls only begins to describe them!
