Identity checklist

When you open an account with us, it is a legal requirement to provide identification.

Below is a list of the I.D we currently accept.

We’ll normally need one form of I.D from list A and B.

In some circumstances, if you do not have any ID from list A we may be able to accept three forms of ID from list B or carry out an online identity check. If you think this may apply to you, contact us on 02392827980
