Signatory on Account - Credit Check Required??

Sam_Spends_Too_Much

My parents run their own small business and as they are going to be away for a few months on a round the world cruise (alright for some!!) they wish to add me as a signatory on all their accounts. This would obviously only be in case of emergencies and I won't be using the accounts for any other reason.

Does anyone know if I will have to be credit checked for this or will I just get added on as maybe an 'employee'. I don't have the best of credit ratings but I don't know if this is going to be a factor.

Any help would be appreciated.

They will certainly have to identify and confirm your address ie passport, driving licence job, if you do not hold an account with that bank.
I am also certain that they will check that you are not bankrupt but other than that it is your parents business and if they want you to sign on the account it is up to them.
