    It's easy to miss it, but I've had Cater Allen ask along the lines posted by Contreras (i.e. confirm/deny w/r to FSCS limits). I haven't been asked for raw data (as in the OP), but it's normal to confirm eligibility for the FSCS on account opening and annually (I'm basing this on having held multiple different business deposit accounts with multiple different banks).

    Can't really compare modern legislation with 17 years of history. Stuff changes you know.

    Not a big deal, just wonder why I didn't get a similar request from other banks that I have business accounts with.
    Yes, normal. I need to confirm eligibility for FSCS every year for each deposit account (I don't have any with Saffron, but it's the same principle although, IIRC, this is usually phrased as a confirmation of the terms of the FSCS rather than a request for raw data).
