Originally posted by billybiro View PostNo, the whole point is that if the role exposes you to the ability to potentially dump £10m+ into that offshore account, no amount of credit checking or any other "due diligence" (and the results thereof) is really going to make any kind of difference as to whether you'd actually do it, therefore, such checks are entirely useless. However, if the bank wants to convince itself that such nonsense actually means something, then more fool them.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

It's not just finance houses and it's not about whether you might directly steal cash.
SC has a lot of the same checks.
It's more about do you owe money to anyone who may pressure you into doing things (like stealing information).
It's not foolproof but the thinking is that most people are genuinely honest and only do something dodgy when under extreme pressure. Financial pressure is a starting point and often an indicator of other pressures that may be of interest.
Similarly if your child is being held hostage by the Russian mafia you are unlikely to get SC clearance even if your credit is very good.See You Next TuesdayComment
