What you'll need

You may find it quicker to complete your application if you have these details to hand:

Your income details, including your pension and investments if relevant.
Details of any benefits you may receive.
Details of your addresses and postcodes for the last 3 years.
Your employer’s address if relevant.

thinking about time scale really

It'll take longer than going into a branch. You fill in the form online and then they'll post the application to you to sign. Then you sign and return it, then they open the account.

It says 10 minutes, though will will have to wait for your cards etc to be posted. Could have had it done by now.

Go and speak to them, not us.

THIS IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK.

I see it's going to be one of 'those' days on GD

Think it's mainly just ID (Passport normally best) and info on salary/income information etc... - been a few years since I did one though!

Everything you need to ensure you go prepared is clearly explained on the companies own website.

Read their own website, and apply some common sense.

What do you think you need when opening an account?

If the answer is "I don't know, thats why I'm asking" then ask yourself "Should I be opening an account?"

Call them or read their very informative website.

Then go and see them.

Basically all you'll need is ID (Passport or Drivers License. Failing that, any major ID card should be fine too) and proof of your address, such as a recent phone bill. Those are the most basic things that you'll need. They may also require proof of income ect depending on what type of account you're looking to open.
