    It is part of verifying that you are who you say you are. They're not going to take any money ;)

    I know my first three bank accounts from memory but the rest I can't.

    It all depends on how often you have to use them.
    I can remember all of my current and previous bank details as well as my passport number and issue and expiry date and entry visa numbers for two different countries.

    Is it a surprise question or do they say to bring those details with you?

    I learnt my NI number from the day I had it. Some things you just HAVE to remember. ;)

    NI number I remember easily, the bank account number & sort code I don't memorise due to being able to access them easily - and I only recall being asked one of those at my passport interview. I was however grilled on all sorts about my parents, including stuff which I don't remember anyway, I mean by the time I got my passport my Dad had been dead 15 years, how the hell was I supposed to remember his birthday!
