Yes, you can. Visiting the website of almost all of the major UK banks would tell you that. They'll likely send you a declaration in the post which you need to sign and return.

You're on the internet, asking the internet if you can open a bank account on the internet.

Probably easier to just pick a bank and try it? Thinking

I've found walking into Barclays to complain how HSBC have pissed you off for the last time and you need a bank account that actually works tends to get you an appointment fairly quickly...

I opened an account with Santander over the Internet. It was active within 15 minutes and I haven't received anything in the post except statements.
I think promising to use it as your main account helps.

Halifax were the fastest for me.

Account set up instantly online, card and that arrived in the post a few days later. HSBC take ages and want you to sign loads of stuff.

I just wandered into a santander branch and opened one on the same day. Although I would say that HSBC are the best IMO.
