DVC uk owners

[MiceyT]

hi all, I'm interested in the possibility of purchasing DVC but I live in Northern Ireland, and was just hoping to get as much info as I can from members in the UK. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

If you haven't already, you might want to also checkout the UK DVC Discussion board.

I'm from the UK and purchased last year, had no problems everything was done on line, you print all the forms complete and sign then scan and email back. The only thing to watch is the exchange rate, we were lucky that we got a good rate and have an US bank account now so we can transfer money when the exchange rate is good. Is there anything your particularly wanting to know?

I think this would be easier to respond to if you were more specific about what you need to know.

Hi there, sori I'm only getting back to u now, yeah, I was just wondering if there's a certain bank u would use to open an acc. I've been doing a lot of research on the whole DVC thing. I'm looking into the resale market and am in contact with monera financial for finance. Opening the US acc is hopefully my only stumbling block

Just looking to get info on opening an acc in the US from here. Plus, I'm looking into the resale market and was just looking to see if anyone had bought from there and how they found the process.

I believe there are quite a few foreign members that open an account at SunTrust which has a branch in the Disney Springs area.

I probably be only looking to use it to pay my finance each month, but could use it for other things wen we r there. Thanks

I live in the UK and I have opened a bank account with Suntrust as said above. It's just in front of Disney Spring and it took about half an hour. However I was on site, I don't think they allow to open the account from abroad.
I use it to pay MF but also to have a debit card for expenses: I can transfer money to my account and get a better rate than purchase cash in advance or a credit card.

I opened a Suntust bank account as the bank is just near Disney Springs, you need to open an account in person. There’s a thread on opening an account:
