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.

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
As executors of my late father’s will my step sister and I were charged with setting up a family trust for a moderate lump sum. We were very unclear on how to go about the task and worried by the legal implications. Luckily an internet search turned up SFS. I was delighted with the sound advice and clarity provided by Lisa.
The one-off service to source and open a suitable account offered good value for money and put our minds at rest. A very professional yet friendly service, all done via phone, email and post within a month, with no ongoing management fees. Thoroughly recommend.
JN - Sept 2019
Many thanks for all your help over the last few months setting up funds from both my mother’s and sister’s estates. I wouldn’t have known where to even start with such a complicated set up for trust accounts. We finally got there! I would certainly recommend your services to others in the future

Absolutely amazing firm, swiftly set up my daughter's trust account. Can’t praise Lisa Simpson enough, who managed everything from start to finish, process took a matter of weeks & was extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

We were recommended Lisa Simpson as a specialist in the setting up of Bank Trust accounts. She offered advice in a very professional and sensitive manner at a very difficult time for us. The Trust Accounts were set up and activated in an efficient and timely fashion. I can only thank Lisa for the excellent, professional service that she provided throughout. Thank you Lisa.

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.
RS - June 2021
I was so relieved to have Lisa recommended to me - she has been brilliant - "holding my hand" through the finding and opening of a suitable trust account to fulfil my late father's wishes. Very professional - and kind and friendly too.

"I am one of 3 Trustees named in a Will and we had no success approaching local banks/building societies for an account that would allow 3 names on the account, or that would allow the size of deposit involved in this case.
I found Simpsons Trustee Accounts service via an internet search and spoke to Lisa, who explained the service offered, fee and timescales. I am pleased to say that Simpsons were very efficient, communicated promptly and clearly, made the rather complex account application form filling relatively easy, and that we now have an account that seems to satisfy our needs.
GC - May 2017
Contacting Lisa to help me with opening trust accounts for my children was, by far, the best decision I made. The process was not straightforward, due to the funds being held in Australia, but Lisa was so knowledgeable, professional and helpful that she made it so much easier for me.
From our first conversation I felt reassured that Lisa would be able to help us, as I was almost at a point of giving up after trying to set the trust accounts up on my own. Lisa kept me well informed at all times and went through all the best options with me. We can’t thank Lisa enough for her help and support.

Lisa was extremely helpful and efficient at assisting us in setting up our trusts. Queries were answered very quickly and helpfully. Would highly recommend

Lisa was absolutely amazing in helping us set up a lifetime interest Trust Account after the death of our mum. I had quite literally no idea what needed doing and she took care of everything so professionally - she was always available to answer my (often quite stupid) questions patiently and clearly, even responding well out of office hours. She also explained to us about cash platforms, enabling us to invest the money in several high interest accounts which not only means it's protected by the FSCS but also that it is making really good returns for our Dad. In one year alone this will cover her fees 15 times over. What is particularly good about Lisa (and Simpsons in general) is how trustworthy they feel. As someone with absolutely no experience of investing or complex financial matters, you can feel quite vulnerable dealing with people you don't know via email, so I wanted to write this review both to thank Lisa and to reassure others that, if you are looking for someone to set up a trust account for you, you will be in safe hands with Simpsons. Thank you so much Lisa.

Thank you very much for all of your hard work with getting the account opening sorted. It is a huge weight off of our minds.
RB - March 2020
As a newcomer to the world of trusts, Lisa's help was invaluable in setting up our bank account. She took us through the options available and gave us clear information that enabled us to make the right choice. She completed the paperwork for us meaning that we only had to sign it to complete the process. All in all it was very smooth, and if you have a similar task then Simpson Financial Services come highly recommended.
ME - May 2020
I would like to commend your excellent service and support in setting up a trustee account. The whole process was clarified, simplified and made accessible. Lisa was readily available and provided frequent and clear feedback every step of the way. Her support was invaluable. My sincere thanks

I am very happy to recommend the services of Lisa Simpson at Simpson Financial Services having successfully secured a Trust account for my father’s art work. Lisa had been suggested by our solicitor and given the complexity of setting up a Trust account nowadays, I am eternally grateful for that suggestion. She was delightful to deal with, patient and understanding and delivered what we needed with minimum fuss and maximum clarity. If this is a service that you need, look no further.
JS - May 2023
The Trustee Accounts Service has helped me to set up a bank account for our Trust which I was unable to do without help. Lisa found us a good solution for our individual needs and was polite patient and knowledgeable. I am happy that I have received a "value for money" service and recommend this to anyone needing help with navigating the banking system to set up a Trustee Account.

Thank you so much for your help setting up the Trust account. I was at the end of my tether with the high street banks and you made it all happen! You were well worth your fee!!!
RB - March 2020
I needed to set up trustee accounts for my two children who had inherited money from their grandfather. My initial assumption, that this would be easy to do without help, proved incorrect – it is a very confusing and complicated process, and there is little clear guidance available online.
I had nearly given up, and was about to approach a local solicitor as a last resort, when I found Simpson FS online. After reading through their site I realised that they seemed to offer exactly what I needed, so I contacted Lisa.
RK – March 2019
We had been trying to set up a Trust Account for over 10months with our regular high street bank who we have been with for over 30 years. Half way through the process they decided they didn't do private trust accounts anymore, they then told us they did so we started the process again, and believe it or not then told us they didn't for a second time! Most of the other banks we talked with wanted all of our bank accounts transferred to them.
Our High Street bank referred us to their private clients division, who could open the account...the only problem was they need £1m deposited in terms of investments! I found Lisa's details online but I was very sceptical, however the whole process was super efficient and sorted within the month! Great result!
