          They will check with the credit reference agency or agencies.

          Just to check you are who you say you are.

          So they will just do an identity or unrecorded check?

          Thanks

          No they won't do a credit check for a savings account.

          They'll ask you to send in ID to prove you are who you say you are, and might check the electoral register.
