Get to know how Member ID verification works

What is Member ID verification?

Member ID verification is the process where we verify your account details such as your name, date of birth, residential address, purpose of Police Bank Membership, employment details and other important information to ensure they’re accurate.

Having your current information helps to ensure that we’re meeting our regulatory obligations under the ‘Know Your Customer’ requirements. It also helps us to quickly identify and stop any unusual activity that may occur on your account.

In order to verify your details, you’ll need to provide us with relevant documents as set out in the table below. Depending on the circumstances, we may also ask for sources of your funds (e.g. origins of the funds you are depositing or transferring) or your wealth (e.g. sale of property or investments).

What you’ll need

To help us complete the verification process, please provide the relevant identification documents to us using the reply-paid envelope we’ve sent you.
