Why do I need to provide documents which prove the reason for my transfer?

We might ask you to provide a document that shows proof of the reason for your money transfer. This is part of the verification process which ensures we meet our anti-money laundering regulations

We accept these documents as 'proof of reason' for a money transfer:

• Investment certificates, contract notes, or statements
• Loan agreements or statements
• Tax documents
• A signed letter from an approved solicitor or accountant
• A property purchase contract
• A goods sale agreement
• Purchase of goods invoice

If none of the above documents are readily available, any other reliable document proving the reason for transferring will be considered.

When you send a proof of reason document, please make sure that:

• The document shows your full name 
• The date
• The total amount (which covers the amount of money you're sending)

This is a guide to the documents we accept and not an exhaustive list.
