Poor ID checking

I opened a new account having been a member for years and they asked for new ID which they wouldn't accept

Time to review options available, decide what you do and don't want. Make a list, YBS always updates those with email addresses (if they have given permission to YBS) with new offers etc. So can study at leisure, take time to decide. I use a Branch Office that is fairly near to me, (going on bus 3and half hours round trip) is the worst thing .The staff at YBS Branch are excellent, helpful, friendly and go the extra mile for their customers. Sometimes if going on holiday, a branch maybe near where you are visiting, if so, take a savings book and ID with you to draw out (If your Bank has been closed) this can be very useful. Maybe, the only draw back is not having a Branch more local to where I live. Then wouldn't need to plan a road trip, if not able to drive. Read more Read less

They always seem to have very good rates of interest and keep me informed of new saving schemes. When I arrange, on-line, to transfer a large amount of money to another person’s account, they went out of their way to make sure that it was legitimate, without me feeling that they were interfering, not some anonymous text warning!
