Where does one stand if you are unemployed? So you can't have an account in the mainstream banks if you are unemployed? Terrible state of affairs imho.the mainstream banks will not open a basic current account without a payslip and 3 months statements.
The core reason behind this is probably fraud prevention. The banks are getting hammered at the minute with attempted frauds and many of these are based around accounts being opened using fraudulent information. Therefore they are tightening up on procedures and requirements
I was out with the other half the last few days looking to open a new current account as AIB had upset her for the last time. I was amazed that none of the mainstream banks will not open a basic current account without a payslip and 3 months statements. I am not talking about looking for credit etc. Just a basic account.
I disagree. I believe that it is to maximise the amount of data they have on you so that their marketing teams can pester you with all sorts of rubbish in the hope that they will get more business out of you.
So just tick the box(es) stating that you don't want to be contacted for marketing purposes.I disagree.

UB told me they would only accept landline bills and not mobiles.
When I went to open my ssia 7 years ago, ACC would not accept my vodafone bill, or my provisional licence.
Were you looking for an overdraft facility on the current account?
