Is more proof needed for postal, Internet and telephone accounts?
Yes. There is more risk of money laundering with accounts that are opened or products that are applied for other than face to face, such as by post, Internet or telephone.
When making a non face to face application originals or certified photocopies of documents must be provided.
Originals or certified copies will be accepted. All copies sent through the post must be certified as being a true likeness of the original by a lawyer, banker, authorised financial intermediary, accountant, teacher, doctor, or Minister of Religion. Each of the copies must be signed by that person whose full name, qualification, job title, address and telephone number must appear on it and be dated. Customers or relatives of customers or any person named on the account cannot certify the photocopied documents.
We regret any inconvenience to customers but it is important to remember that all those offering financial products or services to the public, whether building societies, banks or other financial organisations, are required by law to have such procedures in place.
