Then, The "Royal" Bank of Scotland refused to accept my Belgian Identity card, the only official proof of ID in my country, as, and I quote: " one can buy this little card for 5 pounds on the internet".
If that is the "only official proof of Id" in your country, then it must be very diffucult to cross international borders for you......
Is your passport just for "special ocassions" and not for use in third world countries?
Sorry, I couldn't resist the sarcasm.
This whole international banking thing doesn't have to be this complicated. I do it with very little hassle. Somethings I'm not crazy about, but if it's really a bother I take my business elsewhere. Don't get too caught up in the "that's not the way they do it at home" syndrome. You are just asking for the "then go back home" comments.....
lighten up, Francis.
