GB Bank

Options
Just at around 22:00 hrs 10th May 2025 found that GB bank does not have an option to put down 'United Kingdom' in the nationality box.  There email address has other letters at the beginning when pasted in Gmail (Google email.) when complaining.
Has this bank been haked!

    It does have the option of "British" though - which is how the nationality of people from the UK is usually described.

    If you mean an application for a new savings account, it's asking for an adjective, so it takes "British" (or things like "British Citizen (Jersey)". Other options if you type "br" are "Brazilian", for instance.
