Open your new Savings & Investments Account

To comply with UK Money Laundering Regulations we have to verify the identity of any person who wishes to open a savings account with us; we use an electronic verification system to do this. In some cases, for instance if you have recently moved house or you are not listed on the electoral role, we may need to ask you for additional proof.

The documents that we may ask you to provide are:

Proof of who you are

Current signed passport
Current UK photocard driving licence
Current full UK (old style) driving licence
Evidence of entitlement to state benefit, pension, tax credit, etc

Proof of where you live

Council tax bill for the current year
Recent utility bill – the bill/statement must be no more than 3 months
Bank statement – old and must not be printed off the internet.
Credit card statement - Mobile phone bills are not acceptable.
Recent mortgage statement
Current UK photocard driving licence *
Current full UK (old style) driving licence*
Evidence of entitlement to state benefit, pension, tax credit*

* If you use these documents to prove who you are, they cannot also be used to verify where you live.

Please note

We can only accept original documents.

You may either post the application form to us, using our FREEPOST address:
