Chase RS

Thanks very much for the heads up on this. While I use Chase regularly, I would've missed that little box. This works really well for me. Opened and funded in seconds, what a refreshing change.

That's another two Regular Savers for my wife and I. And as we both already had Chase accounts they were open in seconds.

According to T&Cs:

Scottish - yes.

Hanley - no.

Chase RS - no valid passport or photo driving licence

I'd like to open the RS and some of the other Chase features are appealing. Has anyone been successful without using a valid passport or a photo driving licence ?
I tried a couple of years ago but got stuck on this matter. I think a valid photo id is a must have and there didn't, at the time, appear to be a manual or otherwise workaround.

Thanks.

You need valid photo ID so that they can confirm you are who you say you are during the application.

I’m not aware of a workaround with any of the app based banks. Though I haven’t seen their options lately as the photocard I used to open my current account is still current.

There can be alternatives with the 'trad' banks when it comes to proving identity but it's not true of Chase - needs passport or photo driving licence or EU national ID card.

I bet that it's been suggested to @Born2Save_3 that life might be easier with a passport or a (provisional) driving licence, even if there's no intention to travel or drive.

Does anybody know If you have previously closed down your Chase current account they will let you open a new account again? I know they didn't allow this in the past but I was wondering if they have changed this.
