Those KYC requirements are crap.
Sample this:
Stanchart - say you want to upgrade your normal diva/all-in-one account to excel or the X account.. they tell u to bring a photo again, and ID copy, and all those other things. Yet they already have your details...
u want to open a savings account - same crap.
NIC - You have an account there, even a credit card. You want to open another joint account, or say a dollar account, they tell u bring ID+passport+bill+new form..
Even worse, u decide to open a CDSC account using them, since you have a working relationship with them, they tell u same crap. Why do we give them those things in the first place, if they cant refer to them?
And that utility bill, hell if i just need an account, u want to know where i live, fine. I can move next month, and not update the bank. so how does it help? i always wonder what happens if i am living with my parents or my relatives, what "utility bill" do i provide?
Waste of time, and resources.. Dont i love Equity..
