Opening a new bank account

This is a two parter:

1) Any recommendations for best bank to open a stock standard everyday account with.

2) How does everyone go with getting a bank account with no proof of residence? Any loopholes?

Hi Beck82 :)

I hope others members will be able to help you soon ;)

Hi! I think in Santander you can open a basic account with no proof of direction or work..

Sorry.. I meant with no proof of residence or work!
