What they ask is completely over the top, unnecessary, time consuming and expensive (cost of certified documents). Don't have any dealings with them. I recently got a card from BoS and the application was easy, with no documents having to be sent.

Strange, I didn't have to send any documents at all when I opened my PO card late last year. It all just happened.

I use Halifax Clarity for foreign transactions. No additional fees.

There may have been a reason PO (BOI) asked for additional documents.

I didnt have any hassle getting one many years ago.

As I said on another thread, I too was approved for a PO card without any requirement for documentation.

Each provider has different criteria, some may search different credit reference agencies. Companies normally want documentation, if you are borderline creditworthy, for whatever reason.
