The problem is they are trying to go fully digital. So no branches and stone buildings. But they still need to follow KYC regulations. So how else can they verify your identity digitally, without meeting you in person? I wish there was a better way too btw.

I completely understand from their point of view - but unfortunately from my point of view that doesn't really reassure me much.

Pretty sure Monzo don't ask for your passport as part of KYC?

Yes they do. Either passport or national ID. Not sure if EU driver's license is enough or not. Plus also you need to take 5 second video of yourself where you say your name.

Oh odd, I don't recall doing any of that. I joined before they got their banking license though.
