3. Philippines

Link: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2011/october/57-financial-institutions

There are two lists for each country:
1. for financial institutions that are acceptable
and
2. for financial institutions which do not verify documents to UKBA's satisfactory levels

This will apply from 24 November 2011 as applicants are being given a month’s notice to move their money if necessary.

The list will be kept under review so can change so best to refer to the online list rather than a printed version.

UK Border Agency | List of financial institutions for Tier 4 is published In June 2011, we announced that we would be publishing a list of financial institutions which we consider, on the basis of experience, do not verify financial statements to our satisfaction. Today we are publishing an initial list of financial institutions that fall under this category.

"The tightening of the visa rules is not intended to keep out excellent students from India to come and study in UK. We are trying to tackle colleges that do not have a proper education framework and exploit students coming from abroad. What we can’t have is an abuse of the system. Indian students pay full fees and, therefore, it is in their interest that they receive quality education from accredited institutions. There are currently around 40,000 Indian students studying in the UK, as compared to only 500 British students in India."
