Raisin

Numbersup

Afternoon.   I did join Raisin 2/3 yrs ago, but never actually  saved with them in the end, finding direct  to banks etc,  were often  just as good . Today I got an email from them which appears to be the normal web address, saying in order to stay with them,  I need to fill in  where my funds are from, and what is my yearly income. Im not doing it as Im not using them, but  are  these intermediaries  really obliged by law to keep this information up to date as they claim ,even when you havent got money with them at that time?

I got same message. I stopped using them ages ago, I don't think they get the best deals. 
Looks more like they are using it for their own data records/marketing, don't think you are legally obliged to give those details.

Think you're right. I was going to amend  my post (but couldnt) to read they 'imply'  its a legality  ,as reading again I think its just 'required' by their own company .

I think it’s called KYC, Know your customer.
Something like that.
From what I’ve read on here all bank seem to be doing these checks.
YBS is asking lots of people applying for the xmass saver to send in id etc.
Even if you have been with them for years.
Not looking forward to being asked for id and info.
Job, Lazy bum not worked in 10 years. Carer.

Raisin are ok, have 2 savings products with them.

You say you don't think you are legally obliged to give those details but I found when I log in I can't access my account unless I give this information so if you have savings accounts with them, you have to give up this information if you want to manage your account.

Ive nothing in  so I can ignore them .   The way things are going,  we're going to be required to broadcast our yearly income on our foreheads!
