How do I open an account?

Once you have read these, simply complete our application form and send it, together with your deposit and two forms of identification (please refer to the Application form and Terms and Conditions for details of acceptable forms of identification), to the address shown on the Application Form.

Alternatively, you can print and complete a hard copy of our application form or request further information, including an Application Form, by completing our Contact Form.
