Requesting documentary proof, this by delaying the process by two weeks. Who has paper copies these days anyway. Get Doctors Certify - in a pandemic!

Pamela at the BS advised me correctly, she knows what she was doing and acted on what was promised. It could be better if a/cscould be openned online and verification done by experian checks.

I applied for a monthly savings account but because I did not send up enough ID documents, they cannot open an account. I will now send up further ID but what a faff. The staff on the phone were very pleasant and rang me back as promised BUT the Scottish Building Society must move into the 21st century and do electronic checks. I have accounts with lots of small building societies, Loughborough, Principality, Buckinghamshire and Cambridge to mention a few. They all confirmed my ID by electronic checks. Why can't SBS?
