Laz Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi..I've raised the issue of shopping online using a UK bank account before and no one seemed to have problems. However, I have just come up with the same problem I had when we lived abroad before. I have changed my UK bank contact details so that my address is an Australian address. I just went to top up my O2 account online and due to the fields that pop up for billing address (I.e. Post code and house number) I can't do a payment as it won't recognise an international address. I know this is the same thing that happened when we lived in Dubai and there was no way to fix it so I wasn't able to do online shopping. Does anyone have any ideas, or how do others get around this?

elfie Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 We have a First Direct account we have rents deposited monthly they are aware we are in Australia and send anything to our address here had no problems with them but have been customers for 20 years so ........ perhaps that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 the bank will send statements to australia..thats not a prob. Dont really have anyone we can use for address long term. may have to ask a friend (no family left really..). I still dont know how it can be done if you have an overseas billing address.
