New recruits


The help you need throughout your military career


With our regular visits to the UK's training locations, Holt's is a very different type of bank. Our service is designed just for people like you - serving members of the armed forces.

Here's how we can help:

Open an account

  • Easy - we don't require further proof of your UK or overseas address and if you're new to the UK, Holts will give you the support you need
  • Foreign & Commonwealth recruits - the military will only pay your salary into a UK bank account. If you are new to the UK, it can be hard to open an account. At Holt's, we make it easy
  • It's also easy to switch your account to Holt's.
    Switching to Holt's is easy and hassle-free. In fact, the process generally takes just two to four weeks to complete.
