Hi there, I hold a Citibank current account, which allows me to keep money in dollars, euros and/or rubles. However, I found out that it's not possible to open a pound sterling account with this particular bank. Is it a typical situation, or do you know of other banks which would let me keep my money in pounds? Cheers

Yes, usually russian banks allow to have account in RUR, EUR and USD... Why it's not possible in GPB - I don't know.... Last edited by IvanGonzalez on Tue Jan 27, 2009 7:55 pm; edited 1 time in total

I've asked the Sberbank about Australian dollars. They said there is no or little demand so it not worth to bother. I guess same thing for pounds.
