Nationwide proof of address

Mishomeister

My mate has applied for Nationwide account and has received a letter saying tha tthey need proof of ID & Proof of adress.

No probs with the ID, however their proof of address list seems to be very narrow.
They would only accept the bills or a mortgage statement. I find this list really weird as all other banks would accept bank and credit card statements as a proof of address.
Just wondering if anyone has an experience of openning Nationwide account with any other proof of address rather than the bill?

I'd guess he's not on the electoral register. Get registered, problem solved.

They except other things - scroll down for the list

And bank statements are on that list. So I don't know why your friend thinks they won't accept them.

Also asked this when applying,
then a few days later, account is up and running OK

did previously have one of their accounts,
so they caught up with my old existing data etc

Not necessarily. I've been on the electoral register since I was 18. I'm 37 now and have had to go into a branch with ID to open bank accounts several times over the past ten or so years.
