As a reiteration of previous threads about opening a bank account.........
I have had a peso account at ScotiaBank since January 2008. Given the peso fluctuation recently, I decided to open a US Dollar account to 'warehouse' US $$ until the most advantageous time to convert.
Not so fast.... I gave them my passport, my cedula, my residencia, my RD driver's licence and my NEXUS card.
They still want proof of employment, or tax returns, or whatever proof of whatever.
Of course , I can provide none of the above on short order nor will I succumb to the request.
I did, however, allow them to look at my Cdn Scotia account as proof of solvency.
I just want to add an account.
I gave up and walked out.
Reading here has encouraged me to try another branch, another day - it may be easier.
Anybody experienced anything like this ??
I understand why they want it, but from an existing account holder ?? That's what confuses me.
