Does anyone know if Santander branches can in any way service Cahoot e.g. taking copies of a passport and verify identity and forwarding copies on? Cahoot doesn't seem to have a Freepost service either, unless I just can't find it?

I asked a couple of weeks ago, the response was no as they're completely ring fenced to be separate.

I opened the sunny, passed all the AML/CRA checks, got the account open and got the account details, but because my info was slightly different to the last time I had an account with them 22 years ago I needed to send two forms of ID via snail mail at my own cost before it could be used.

I immediately closed the a/c an hour after opening as it just wasn't worth it for me.

Thanks, that is exactly the same problem the OH has. Two profiles, login details to only one and due a slight error it's now sending in ID details. Freepost doesn't seem to exist. All only to close an account with a quid in it. I'd rather have them close the account, keep the quid and donate it.

Good luck, it took them from last August to this February to open my account.  For some reason they couldn't check my ID online so I had to go through account application via phone.  I ended up having to send my ID 3 times, and go through the phone application as many times as they kept losing the ID and by the time they'd found the ID, the applications had lapsed.  Rinse, repeat.  Got there - eventually.

The Chip app has been down for about 6 hours. A lesson in not putting all your eggs in the same basket if you need instant access. Not that Chip is top of the pops these days but I do have some money in there.

When paying money into Chase easy access (or current) account, should your bank recognise the Chase account details when it does the CoP check? I had thought Chase was signed up to CoP now but I am getting the ‘couldn’t check details’ message despite definitely entering correct info.
