[Soled73]

Does anyone know if financial organisations perform any special checks before letting you in?

Actually, they will ask you for reference letters from an bank, lawyer or people you have done business with, today, a financial institution is required to do so, due to the KYC regulations.

They only did mine for the below

Credit check and
Employment ref
Proof of address e.g bill

I know of someone who couldnt provide a particular employment ref and was asked to provide 5 yrs bank statement. His bank couldnt provide him with 5 yrs worth so he lost the gig

In my current role I have been asked to provide;

* references from my last 3 roles and confirmation I am happy for them to be contacted,
* employment history for last 5 years,
* show original and provide copy of passport,
* show original and provide copy of proof of address and bank statement,
* provide evidence of my PRINCE2 qualifications (even through this can be done online).

Client co use an external vetting company to undertake this and have asked for the some of the same information over and over again.
