Big thank you to Nottingham Building Society

I tried to register a POA with the Nottingham only to be told that they wouldn't accept a Scottish POA. I then emailed head office through their web page and got a phone call the next day saying that they had changes their policy and apologising for the problem. I'm very impressed with how quickly they responded. Well done to them!

2 - even if they did, failure to recognise a legal power of attorney within the UK would still not be acceptable IMO, as people move about and any such terms are only relevant at the point of application. Even the more restrictive societies like Cumberland don't close your accounts if you move away (within the UK).
I'm not sure that it would matter either way though, even if you once had to visit a branch there is nothing stopping you moving within the UK.
