We have chosen to always require a registered transaction account for your own security. This allows us to ensure that funds are always transferred to the right recipient and the right account.
To change your registered transaction account, please send us a copy of a balance statement from your bank clearly showing the account number and stating you as the account holder, plus a copy of your photo ID, driver’s license or passport.
