Folks.
I dont know if I should feel foolish or not..I went to open a cheque account with a new bank recently and was asked all manner of questions.
Apart from the obvious Name,DOB ,Address and the like ,I was asked about children ,I was asked what my last ESB bill was.
All these things were answered but then bells stated ringing when I was asked to provide a copy of my P45 ?? and a copy of my own bank accounts statement for the last 12 months....
Is this normal..My gut feeling was no so I rang the bank in question and cancelled my application for an account.
I could understand all these questions if I wanted a loan or a mortgage but I only wanted an account to lodge a few checques in ???
