A Power of Attorney is a dedicated person who makes decisions and acts on your behalf. You may want to seek legal advice on giving someone Power of Attorney, as this will need to be arranged before we can set them up on your account.
To set someone up as Power of Attorney on your account, we'll need to check the identification of the person you choose. This involves recording details of their name, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address, solvency status, and bank details.
Alternatively, granting someone Third Party access may be more appropriate. We'll complete similar identity checks on anyone you'd like to assign with Third Party access, recording name, date of birth, address, telephone number and solvency status.
There are limitations to what a Third Party can do (such as opening or closing accounts). In contrast, someone with Power of Attorney can carry out any actions.
If you want to set up Power of Attorney on your account or provide someone with Third Party access, visit the Document Library to download the relevant form and send it back to us.
