Lloyds International Bank in the Channel Islands. Very good consumer protection laws, better than mainline UK. They are cheaper (last time I looked) than HSBC.
TD International in Luxembourg, they provide share dealing and a derivitives platform via Saxo Bank.
Do your own research, there are loads of options, the above are purely examples and not recommendations. I agree with the general sentiment of getting cash out of the ME.
The only person you should ultimately listen to regarding what to do with your money is yourself and if you can find one, a trustworthy financial adviser, one that is regulated properly in a country with half decent laws, (Channel Islands for instance) just be aware there are sharks out there.
Something people struggle with is taking advice on a fee basis rather than a commission basis. Something to consider, not going to go into the pros and cons, as you will find, managing your own money takes (should) a fair amount of time and effort.
