Opening your account by post If you would like to complete your application via post it is important that all documentation provided is correctly certified, signed and dated to ensure that we can provide a quick and efficient account opening service for you. When opening an account with us, we want to make sure that you receive outstanding customer service. Therefore as part of our aim to protect existing and potential customers from the risks of fraud and to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations under the relevant money laundering legislation, there is a requirement to verify applicants for ALL new accounts that are opened. This applies to both new and existing customers. Please complete this form by marking a cross in the appropriate boxes, signing and dating it.
