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 was at my wits end trying to locate and open a trustee account. I found Simpson Financial online . Filled in form for call back. The call back from Lisa made me see a light at the end of the tunnel. She told me what to send her and then filled in all forms. Lisa found an account and all the account details arrived at my home. Even when the bank sent me a form to fill in Lisa called me to talk me through the form. Thanks for everything

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

Having looked into setting up trustee accounts for my niece and nephew and been totally bewildered and frustrated by the lack of advice both on the high street and the internet, it was such a relief to find Simpson Financial Services.
Lisa has been absolutely fantastic - such a help in setting up an account and everything was explained really clearly. The whole process was made very simple and the account opened quickly.
Thank you for being so friendly and professional and providing such an efficient service.
CS - Oct 2019
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
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.

"Everything already said in previous testimonials we can agree with and appreciate fully. We approached our own bank and had no joy or help with opening a trustee account. We had also approached a specialist bank ourselves but they wanted a substantial initial deposit just to open such an account.
We found Simpson FS on an internet search and at what was already a difficult time, Lisa took the reins and dealt with everything and sourced just the right account for us with a nil opening balance.
JF - July 2017
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.

As a historic Executor for my late Aunts Will I was desperate to put the retained estate into a Will Trust Fund . I found little help. The Solicitor handling the Estate declined to help because of the time involved. The Building Society holding my Aunt’s Account did not provide Trust Accounts.
My own Bank did have Trust Accounts but the paperwork given to me appeared unnecessarily complex and with 9 beneficiaries with an interest in the Estate ,scattered throughout the United Kingdom , the amount of work appeared insurmountable. In extremis I found Simpson Financial Services Ltd on the internet and thankfully ‘hit the Jackpot’. Lisa
Simpson , The Trust Specialist , with her easy friendly efficient manner guided me through the process effortlessly, in spite of Covid restrictions , to bring the whole matter to a successful conclusion. I cannot thank Lisa enough for her help and advice.
AH - March 2021
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!
BD - Aug 2019
Thank you very much Lisa for your help with my new Trust Account. Thank you for being super kind, understanding and patient with me yet always very professional. Once again a big thank you.
PZ - Sept 2023
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!
GT - Feb 2021
We were referred to Lisa and we couldn't have been happier with her clear and friendly approach. She made the process straight forward and explained all the steps from the outset. She also kept us updated throughout the process and answered any of our questions promptly. We would be more than happy to recommend her. Thanks Lisa.

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.
ET - Dec 2021
Lisa has been the most helpful and professional person that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She had all the solutions I needed in setting up Trust accounts after the loss of my brother which prior to seeking Lisa’s services had proven impossible. Because of matters on my part, things weren’t always straight forward and yet Lisa dealt with them in the most professional and patient manner, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
KV - April 2023
As the executor of my fathers will I was at a loss as to where I could set up trust funds after trying all the high street banks. It was like a weight had been lifted as soon as i spoke to Lisa. Everything was dealt with quickly and professionally and I can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend Simpson Financial Services to anyone in need of help setting up trusts.
