What is a Trustee Bank Account?
A Trustee Bank Account is basically a way to control assets on behalf of a third party. One really clear example is setting up a Trust Fund for a child: the assets are deposited in a Trustee Bank Account, and the person named as Trustee is then responsible for managing the money until the child reaches an agreed-upon age. In this example, the child is what’s known as a beneficiary – the person who benefits from the Trust (through investment returns, investment earned, etc.). The Trustee (or Trustees, because there can be more than one) is the person (or persons) who manages the Trust in order to create those benefits for its owner.

I needed to open a discretionary Trustee Account in accordance with my uncles will. I never dreamt how difficult this could be. Contacted every high street bank I could think of and a few building societies with no luck at all.
Finally a friend told me about Lisa at Simpson Financial Services. Oh what joy she was wonderful, found me a bank account advised me what paperwork was required, filled out the application for me.
Bank account opened and operating in no time and all done via the internet. Absolutely brilliant service, I really cannot thank her enough she really was my saviour. Thank you Lisa

I was appointed as an executor to a will and was required to set up a trust fund for a relative. After much searching for a suitable provider for a Trust Fund I found Simpson Financial Services via the internet. I found Lisa to be extremely approachable and professional in our dealings to set up the appropriate accounts. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to a friend or relative in the future.

Lisa, the Trustee accounts specialist at Simpson financial services did an amazing job at helping me source a trustee account. I wouldn’t have had the first clue, and after many high street banks telling me that they did not do Trustee accounts, I really did not know what to do. Lisa made it very easy, I provided the documents that she requested, and she did all the hard work for me. I spoke to Lisa on the phone throughout the process and she was very friendly and understanding and very informative. Updating me on progress every step of the way.
Correspondents was a mixture of phone calls, emails and with the use of their portal, I knew that all the documentation and personal information that was sent over was safe and secure. I highly recommend this service, if like me, you have suddenly been told that you are a trustee for a beneficiary, with absolutely no idea on how to handle it or what to do next, then I highly recommend you give Lisa a call. I can’t thank her enough.

Firstly I wanted to thank you for all your help along the way with setting up these accounts. What I thought would be a nightmare turned into quite the opposite- because of you. You were clear about what was required from us with regards to the supporting documentation for our applications. The systems you have in place to support the collecting and collating of these documents made it easy for us. Finally - you were a joy to deal with, talking me through the process without using the usual brain fogging jargon, and I appreciated your instant understanding of my situation and the requirements for the accounts. I would have no hesitation in using your company again or recommending you to anyone who needs this type of service.

Needing to set up a Trust Account for my late father's estate I was getting nowhere until I stumbled upon Simpson Financial Services. Lisa was very helpful and efficient throughout the process of finding a suitable account and getting all of the paperwork sorted, all for a fixed fee. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Simpson Financial Services to anyone needing a Trust Account.

As part of the sale of our parents’ house, my sister and I were required to set up a Will Trust Account to deposit the proceeds of our late mother’s share of the house. The solicitor provided no guidance on this process and we assumed it would be a straightforward case of contacting banks ourselves. It was not that simple!
HF - Nov 2019
Lisa was very helpful and patient when we needed to set up a trustee account. Even when the process threw in some anomalies she was there to help and support through the process. Would have no problems in recommending to anyone.
AM - Dec 2021
Thank you for all your help setting up the account. You have been very responsive, efficient and clear and altogether a pleasure to deal with.

I echo many of the comments on this site; I was struggling to establish a Trust bank account with two siblings. My high street bank was simply not interested and trawling through the internet was depressing and a waste of time … until I came across the Simpson Financial Services site.
LJ - April 2019
When first requested by our Solicitor to open a Trust Account for the Trustees of my Father in law’s Will Trust, I assumed it was just a matter of speaking to one of the high street banks, however, this proved to be incorrect and so I decided to investigate on the internet and found Simpson Financial Services and spoke with Lisa Simpson who helped us through this complicated process.
We would definitely recommend them as Lisa was extremely helpful and the fees were very reasonable.
MP - April 2019
All the way through the process Lisa was knowledgeable, helpful and approachable. She quickly identified trustee account options for us and clearly explained the details of each. Lisa made opening the account a pain-free process. Would definitely use Simpsons FS if we ever needed another trustee bank account.

Lisa, I can’t thank you enough for being so amazing and efficient and sorting out our family trust.
EM-E - June 2021
I contacted Simpson Financial Services when I was faced with trying to open a bank account for Trustees to handle funds for a family member living overseas. I had found it impossible to do myself. Lisa Simpson initially 'phoned me, without obligation, to discuss what I was seeking to do.
After understanding the difficulties of finding a bank, and the steps needed to open an account, I had no hesitation in employing Lisa for this task. She was very professional and efficient, making sure that the large number of documents collected from all Trustees was organised ready to be presented to banks willing to open an account. Lisa ensured there were no delays.
She kept in touch at every stage, always replied to messages and 'phone calls and was very patient when Trustees made mistakes with paperwork! I found her to be kind and supportive throughout a difficult task. I could not have achieved the successful opening of an account without Lisa's professional help and advice.

After extensive research into setting up a Bare Trust for my children, I found Simpson Financial Services who offered the only practical solution to opening a bank account for the trust. Even the solicitors I contacted were clueless and had given up trying to open accounts for their clients! Lisa made the process very straightforward and once the required paperwork had been supplied the account was opened very quickly.
I cannot recommend her services more highly. Thank you!

Having been advised by my own personal Bank that they do not now handle the work of opening a Trustee Bank Account, I looked at several Companies on the internet that specialise in this work. I was very fortunate to have chosen Simpsons Financial Services.
The opening of this account was carried out by Lisa Simpson in an excellent and efficient manner. The Trustee Bank Account was opened in a matter of a few days. From the moment I contacted Simpsons Financial Services Ltd they were very helpful and efficient at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company.
PJH - Nov 2020
We recently set up a trustee bank account with Simpson Financial Services Ltd. It would have been very difficult to navigate this process without Lisa Simpson, who guided us through it step by step and provided us with invaluable guidance and assistance. Nothing was too much trouble and she kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you so much for all of your help Lisa.
SE - April 2021
Lisa Simpson was very helpful and transparent in explaining the procedure and costs of setting up a Trust Bank Account. After weeks of frustration when I couldn't find a bank which would allow me to open a Trust Account directly I was very relieved to find that through Lisa the procedure was simple and executed in a very timely manner.
Thank you
LS - April 2023
Lisa, may I take this opportunity to thank you (and your team), for your time, patience and assistance with the setting up of the trust bank accounts. It has been a pleasure working with you.
AM - March 2024
I know from experience how difficult and complicated it is for a layperson to deal with Trust matters, so my heart sank when I was called on to set up another Trust account. In desperation I turned to the Web, stumbled upon Simpsons Financial Services and contacted Lisa. She was extremely helpful, engaging immediately with my particular problem, and helped me to resolve it quickly and simply.
I doubt I could have found such a satisfactory solution on my own. Lisa was friendly, approachable and efficient; I would certainly ask for her help again in the future, should I need it. I recommend her without reservation.
