    Indeed, if they 'find' you on their CRA search/Electoral Roll check you won't have to produce any ID - I didn't.

    We didn't have to show any ID either when we opened an account (after we came armed with the passports, driving licences, bills with address on etc....):rolleyes:

    I suppose your response will be as long as it comes within the act,exactly and it all depends upon how the bank decides to interpret the legislation.
    Well considering Nationwide's list is (their own) arbitrary list and doesn't cover all the forms/permutations of ID possible, yes.

    I've signed up online last night! Took 3 attempts but got there in the end! Done the sensible thing and decline the OD and Credit card offer!!!

    I don't have any utility bills as I still live with my parents! Might make it interesting.. I can't remember what I've sent off to other places before??!

    I have been a Nationwide customer for over 10 years, but I still had to show all the relevant ID when I opened my account.

    They asked for ID from me when I applied for my credit card which surprised me as I had applied via logging into my internet banking account with them as I currently have a mortgage with them....

    I don't think I'd be able to get a debit card from Nationwide, so what ATM network do their ATM cards use?

    Want to know if it'd be easy to find an ATM that'd accept it whilst abroad...... :)

    I have used my Nationwide in multiple ATMs abroa and never had a problem. I think its accepted by all ATMs.

    It uses the cirrus network abroad. As Cirrus is part of Mastercard, you shouldn't have many problems finding an ATM, I know I havn't.
