Step 2 - Compile the relevant identification documents
UK money laundering regulations mean that we have to ask you for proof of identity. We won't be able to open your account without the correct identification documents.
If you're already a customer of Anglo Irish Bank, you don't have to provide proof of identity or address.
If your application is in your name only:
We will need to see two forms of original address identification documents from the list below.
If your application is in joint names:
We will need to see two forms of original address identification documents for each applicant from the list below.
Proof of identity
We need to see two of the following five types of documentation for each applicant.
- An original bank statement from the account where your initial deposit cheque has originated, dated within the last three months
- An original Inland Revenue notice of tax coding for this current tax year
- Gas, electricity, water or land telephone (not mobile) original utility bill at your current address, dated within the last six months
- An original Council Tax bill at your current address for this current tax year
- Other original personal financial statements (credit card statement or another personal UK bank account) at your current address, dated within the last three months
We will return these documents to you within five business days of receipt.
Step 3 - Issue a cheque from your personal current account for your initial deposit - minimum amount of �500.
- Your cheque should be made payable to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc and marked 'a/c payee only'.
- No third-party cheques will be accepted, (i.e. company drafts, dividends or cheques drawn on other personal names).
- Your cheque must be drawn on a UK personal bank account.
- If your application is in your sole name, your cheque should be drawn on a personal account in the exact name as the applicant. For joint applicants your cheque should be drawn on a joint personal account in the exact names of the applicants. (If you do not have a joint account, we will require a personal cheque from each applicant just for your initial lodgement).
Step 4 - Send all of these to us at the following Freepost address:
