CaixaBank asking for more information - Page 2

Before retirement I used to work for a major French investment bank and anything relating to money laundering is mandatory for banks to follow up and maintain. Came into force well before Brexit but clearly some countries slower on the uptake than others

Agreed it can seem like a pain but ultimately it is in your best interests, and the banks, to safeguard their customers money

Update.

First of all thanks again for all your replies.

As promised, We have been into the bank today as it’s a joint account.

Produced passports as ID.

They just wanted to confirm if we was working or retired, self employed or employed, requested a copy of both IE number certificates of which I emailed whilst in bank.

Confirmation of  uk national insurance numbers.

And to confirm approx earnings ie 0 to 30k or 30 to 60k 60 to 90k etc.

All was done there and then, just had to sign a few confirmation boxes and that was it.

No other documents required, wasn’t interested in providing proof of income, even though I had these with me.

Just give them what they ask for and no more👍
