CitiBank - Documentation IDs?

Hello

First timer here

I filled in my details in the Online Application on Boxing Day and have received the pack today.

Do I just sign the pre-filled form and send it off with ID?

I am living with my wife but nothing is in my name apart from Driving Licence and Passport and a basic account with Barclays.
So what can I send them (CitiBank) as ID?
I don't have a cheque book to send the £1 cheque drawn in my name.

As I understand nobody has been declined this account...well now I'm going for it as I have very bad history and I'll be the first person on here to be declined.

Awaiting your help

Thanks

  • You can provide extra ID, so send yor bank statement with Barclays, a copy of your Driving Licence & your Passport, we were told the cheque was for verification purposes only. You need to enclose a cover letter stating you don't have a cheque book.
    £2 Coin Savers Club (Christmas)- £86
    £1 Jar (Christmas)- £29

  • Hi,
    Along with the application form, all I sent Citibank was a utility bill, a bank statement and my pay slip; the sterling account was opened, no questions asked.
    Hope this helps.
