How it works?
Once completing the Kickstart application a Kickstart consultant will be in contact with your Kickstart reference code and further details about the package.
The 1st Contact London office will contact you pre-departure and you will personalise your own Kickstart package and choose your appropriate bank appointment time online.
You can either collect your Kickstart pack from the 1st Contact office in London or we can arrange to have your package posted to your UK address. You’ll attend your pre booked bank appointment with your passport and ‘Kickstart bank letter’, which is provided to you in your Kickstart pack. The bank consultant will assist you in opening your bank account and provide your bank account details on the same day. Once your account is open, you will receive your bank documents within 7-10 working days.

VERY IMPORTANT: You must bring your passport (showing your visa with your entitlement to work in the UK) to both the 1st Contact office and bank meeting.
If you cannot attend a bank appointment in London, then your bank account can be opened with HSBC via a postal application in the UK. Alternatively 1st Contact offers a Pre Departure bank account where you can open your UK bank account before you leave home.
