As an example

For more specific enquiries, for instance regarding a specific individual or entity, the overseas Competent Authority will contact the UK Competent Authority, who will then contact the Financial Institution.

Just follow the rules. Why are people even considering not being 100% upfront about residency and arrange their affairs accordingly?

When/if I move back to the UK I will inform all my banks, the tax authorities etc. of my new address. I will be opening a Wise account along with back up brokerages and bank accounts so that I have options.

Just FYI, IP address is not the only data the bank can collect, don't forget passport/immigration data, unless you have dual nationality which may mitigate it to an extent

HMRC also has a Connect system which draws info from a variety of sources as well. They aren't stupid either. Regulations are more strict now after 2008

You would be naïve to think Countries don't share banking data with each other either

Unless I've missed it nobody has mentioned state pension freezing when drawing it in Australia.

Would not advising and continuing to claim indexed increases be considered fraud?
