I am originally from Brazil, but have lived in the UK for a few years and have decided I want to stay here in the long term.
As such I have started saving for a house deposit, and although I won t be buying for a while I want to start getting my finances in order. My main bank account is with a Brazilian bank and I don t have any significant record of credit or borrowing in the UK.
I have just opened a basic bank account with a UK bank, and my flatmate has transferred some of the household bills into my name. What else can I do in order to start building up my profile?
