    The banks are a little all-over-the-place with KYC in my experience. I suspect Lloyds want to know who you are, not just where you reside - hence the passport. 

    I have many accounts and just for my own interest I decided to ignore all KYC requests from one particular major high street bank. If they closed down my account, it's fine. I'm no anarchist, just interested in how this whole process works. 

    I've been ignoring the requests from this bank for many years, with no impact at all. I wonder why they bother.
    Thanks I hope it's a mere formality once I get home. I've always done my tax return and to the best of my knowledge I've always done it truthfully. My fear is that Lloyds contact HMRC and I get audited - probably a baseless fear.
    I understand KYC means 'know your customer' and CDD 'customer due diligence' also EDD 'enhanced due diligence'.
