Paid in Euros

HSBC are who I have my USD account with for £3 a month; they also do a Euro account. Would recommend, their online banking is good and unlike other banks, you can actually view your foreign currency account and move money in/out of it online - other banks require you to do everything by phone so it's worth checking that out.

I probably wouldn't bother changing banks for one €-paying client though, you've got to convert it to £ eventually anyway.

HSBC current account (Euro) and GBP account. Transfer to GBP account when exchange rate is good (to avoid fluctuations).
However I do this with Transferwise.com to avoid high exchange rates HSBC/banks charge. Works very well and they only take a small fee.
Anyone else use Transferwise or similar. Only downside is they sometimes refund a small deposit for each transaction - may be confusing for accountant at end year???
