Hi all
wanted to let you know of very good experience I've had with Anglo Irish (IOM) http://www.angloirishbank.co.im/about-iom/index.asp I've been with them for a few years, and always impressed with service and their interest rates. Well, I called them up yesterday to open a 24 month fixed rate £ account offering 5.1%, the best in the market - the guy told me to leave it till today, and this morning he emailed me (by looking up my records) to tell me the rate was now 5.35% - service like that deserves to be praised, so here I am doing it !

Mark I am currently trying to set up an offshore with Lloyds and they want all sorts of ıdentıty crap yet I have been with them for 33 years. Did you have to go through all that or did they do it for you going on your previous history with them.
its a standard thing now - all part of money laundering operations - even if you have an account with Lloyds in the UK, offshore is separate - they normally want notarised copy of passport and form of address - is that what you have been asked for ?
In my case it was opening a new account, but within the same office, so no problem at all
yes thats what I have to get plus utillity bills etc but it annoys me slightly especially with a 20 year history of British military to my name (all of this time the bank where sending statements to my units) So I dont think I am a likely terrorist suspect. Its all a pain in the butt thoughI suppose I will have to do it.
utility bills are for proof of address - as you say, a pain, but its not their fault - they are obligated by law
