Confirming your details
Financial crime is a growing risk for us all. That’s why regulations have been put in place to help keep you and your accounts safe online.
Protecting our customers
Like other banks and building societies, we regularly check for any suspicious activity such as fraud and money laundering.
To help with this, we’re also required to confirm the details of our customers.
By confirming a few details about you, your accounts and your income, we’ll be working together to keep each other safe and fight financial crime.
What happens if you don’t confirm your details
You’ll need to confirm your details by a certain date before you can continue to bank online. We’ll remind you to do this before you log in.
About your details
We’ll ask you to confirm your:
- employment status – along with the names and addresses of any employers
- job role
- industry
- job start date
- monthly income
- country of birth
- nationality (and other nationalities if you have more than one).
What happens with your details
We’ll only use your details to help:
- protect you and your money
- meet our legal requirements
- identify and prevent crimes like fraud, money laundering and corruption
How often we’ll ask to confirm your details
We’re required to check the details of our customers every so often – normally every few years – just to make sure everything is up to date.
