    In reference to the Ipswich Smart Saver query - I have both issues opened (I asked them before applying, they confirmed I could).

    Posted my application to Chorley yesterday 5pm from Herts.

    Just received my security phone call and should be getting my passbook either tomorrow or Saturday, just in time for me to set up my standing order to go out the day after the bank holiday.
  • For the Chorley savings account, do you need to send certified documents off to them, to prove your identity?

    The Society uses an electronic verification search with its credit reference agency to confirm your identity and address; if this is successful we will confirm the search with you. This search does not affect your credit rating. In certain situations (where you are under 18 years of age, where you are not on the electoral roll, where inconsistencies are identified or you have recently moved
    house) the search may fail, if this applies to you we will request additional paper documents

    No.

    Just sent application form and a cheque. They will call you to comfirm your name, address, date of birth and name of account you want opened.

    I sent my application on Wednesday afternoon and received my passbook today (Friday). Very impressed.

    My wife is an existing member but not on the electoral roll (She has a BNO passport) but they didn't ask for extra ID. All they did was phone her to confirm the account she wants opened & usual security questions and she received her passbook this morning.
