Particularly with business accounts, it's a little harder, because they have to follow the rules to try and prevent money laundering.

Lloyds are terrible. When the missus and I wanted to open a joint account, I checked everything I needed to bring with one of the staff and hied myself in to the toon, all documents in hand. When I got there everything was good, and about to be signed off when the manager walked in and discovered our tenancy contract wasn't on company-headed paper. I rented for about 10 years, with both private and company landlords, and have never seen a contract like this. Stupid thing was, I'd been with them for years, they only needed the contract because missus. I went through them like a dose of salts as I'd taken the day off to do it. They claimed it was an FSA requirement (the usual banking standby), but curiously my wife's bank got us set up immediately and hassle free. 10/10 would not recommend Lloyds.

Yep. When I converted my Abbey / Santander current account to joint, we walked in, pretty lady asks how she can help, explain, Herself shows her credit card with her name on, tappity tap...anything else I can help you with today?
Minutes, total.
But...I was with Abbey, because I had a fight with Mudland - they didn't feel 48 hours notice was enough time for them to release a couple of thousand of my money to me in cash - and I tried Lloyds as they were the next bank down the road. Oh, no, I have to see an advisor - next Thursday and bring my documents, a blood test, sample of fathers DNA, and the blood of a virgin...
Walked into Abbey, and walked out with an account and a promise that new cheque book and card would be there by the end of the week.

When I use a Co-op cash machine I am always asked to 'consider the environment' before I'm asked if I want to print a receipt.
When I use a Barclays Machine I am encouraged to print a receipt for my chance to win Premier League Tickets on the back.
It's always amused me that the good intentions of one is being nullified by the other.

Two Mules For Sister Sara?
Very good movie by the way, but all Shirley Maclaine does the whole movie is sit on her ass...
