Third Party Mandate

To verify your ID: 

We will need a selfie photograph from the person who is requesting third party access on the account, and the account holder. The photos must be from the front and side profile. You will need to attach this with the online form and additional documentation below. 

If you are registering as a third party and are already an RBS customer you will need to send: 

• One form of ID for the third party.
• One form of ID for the account holder (If you cannot provide this you will need to provide an explanation in your email to us and your application may take longer than our usual timescales).
  

If you are registering as a third party and you are not an RBS customer you will need to send: 

• One form of ID and one form of proof of address for the third party. 
• One form of ID for the account holder (If you cannot provide this you will need to provide an explanation in your email to us and your application may take longer than our usual timescales).

If you are registering as a third party on a joint account:

You will need to get both account holders to: sign the third party form, provide appropriate ID, and include a selfie photo. We will also need the third party to provide appropriate ID, a selfie photo, and proof of address (if the third party is not an existing customer)

General guidance:

• Individuals who hold accounts with other Natwest Group Brands (e.g. NatWest or Ulster Bank) must provide two forms of identification as above.
• If you are requesting more than one third party on a single account, you will need to fill out separate forms for each third party being registered, or alternatively you can register with us in a branch.
