What you need to apply
To meet our regulatory requirements in relation to customer identification and to protect both you and the bank from fraud, we will verify all applicants electronically or, where this is not possible, by requesting paper proofs.
If you are applying in person at a bank branch, you will be asked to take some form of paper proof with you – any of the following are acceptable:
- Valid UK / EEA Passport with an English translation
- Valid UK / EEA Full photo-card or Provisional photo-card Driving Licence
- Northern Ireland Voter’s card
- Armed forces card
- EEA/EU Member State Identity Card.
This should avoid us asking for any additional information at a later stage. If you are applying by post, telephone or internet you will be advised if any paper proofs are required.
