Nationwide

I haven’t been asked to do it either. I was quite surprised by the original post.

I think you should contact your bank and check this out.

I have N/W accounts. Never been asked to do this. Just checked into my current account no problems.

The banks are all very concerned re money laundering.
Starling was fined over £40million, this was reduced to £29million, their checks were not robust enough.

I have just closed a Starling account and opened a Nationwide account, it was seamless.

I've several nationwide accounts and use the Nationwide app - never had any problems or needed to supply that information to access my accounts. I think I have sometimes been asked my income when applying for a new account - not just with Nationwide. I presume this is to do with money laundering requirements
