    Their website says, simply, to take "photo identification". Did you?

    But what did Head Office or the call centre say when you called to ask them?

    Didnt call , i went in kilburn high road brunch. Yes i did take my photo driving licence . The coutomer officer said driving licence not enough and have to bring passport and book appointment. Just to mention he also suggested " its easier for you to send money via western union" . I couldnt believe my ear and left the bank.
