No, you just said you got it signed at a post office. Please be more specific in future.

Note 2 WHAT DOES “CERTIFIED COPY” MEAN?
'Certified' means confirmed as being a true copy of a valid original and signed and stamped by a
regulated person. E.g. a "Postmaster"

Postmasters are unlikely to be avail themselves to customers even at main post offices in my experience.

But yes, you've given one example of a bank who accept a Postmaster as a signatory. So here's one example of a bank that doesn't...

80. Who can certify my documents?
The documents must be certified by any bank/building society official, solicitor, accountant, commissioner of oaths, justice of the peace, legal secretary, member of parliament, police officer or an officer of the armed services.

Time i was thanked masonic.

Persuade every bank to accept the same loose list of people Scarborough does and I'll thank you.

From someone who owns a company that sets up merchant accounts I can tell you that depending on the bank, depends on what info they need. Most UK banks can set-up an accountf or a UK citizen without loads of ID. Where as non UK banks (CAL, Elavon, BOI etc.) will ask for more.

It is due mainly to money laundering regs which were brought in a few years ago, however they often do it to put "certain" people off and yes, to stop people from bouncing from one account to another and not making them any money. Do remember that banks are businesses - like it or not!
