Know Your Customer (KYC)Why do we ask for your proof of identification before opening an account?It does not mean in any way that suspicion is falling on you. Information is needed that clearly identifies or reconfirms who you are. This makes it harder for criminals to use false or stolen identities to access the financial system and turn their 'dirty' criminal money into 'clean' funds. It also help us to process your remittance requests, when we know who you are. If you want to know more go to www.identitytheft.org.uk What kind of proof of identity do I need?The best documents are those that are issued by an official authority, cannot be easily forged, and include a photograph.
