Important Information Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Financial Services Authority requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that positively identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

If you have any questions please contact our New Accounts department via our online contact form or +44 (0) 20 7170 0770. You will be e-mailed your DealBook® 360 User Name and Account Number. You will then be required to telephone our offices in order to obtain your Password.
