To open an account with the Society, you will need to bring the following identification with you whether you are a new or existing member:

• a completed application form
• at least the minimum investment amount for the type of account
• proof of your identity and your address; and
• Proof of nominated bank account where monthly interest option is selected
• The proof of identity and proof of address information you’ll need to provide is listed on the ‘Proving your Identity’ PDF on our ‘Downloads‘ page.

We require you to provide identification to comply with Money Laundering Regulations.

In some instances, it may be necessary for an existing customer to provide identification.  You may check whether identification will be required by contacting your local branch.

For branch based accounts, please visit your local branch with one document from list B of our identification requirements leaflet.

We pay all savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. Your tax treatment will depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. ISA interest is paid tax-free, which means that it is not subject to income tax.

Due to the Personal Allowance changes on 6 April 2016, R85 forms became obsolete from the start of the 2016/2017 tax year as interest is paid gross on all our savings accounts – ISA accounts pay interest tax-free. So there is no need to submit an R85 form to us.

If you have any savings income over your Personal Savings Allowance you will have to pay some tax on this. HMRC will normally collect the tax by changing your tax code.

A 975 certificate (certificate of tax) shows the interest earned and tax paid on an account during a tax year (6th April – 5th April).

A tax certificate can be requested by visiting your local branch.

Alternatively, please call us on 01282 440500, and we will post one out to you.
