Bank request for proof of professional activity from a non resident
Hi
Have any non residents received a request from their bank (in my case Sabadell) for proof of "professional activity". I presume this is to do with money laundering safeguards but I have been with them for about five years and can't recall receiving this kind of request before. I am thinking of ringing to check this out but thought I would enquire on this forum first for any more background. The request came via my account on their website rather than an individual email.
"The documents accepted as proof of your professional activity are, among others:
- recent pay slip, employment contract, recent form 037 (registration of activity), informe de vida laboral (work history report), enrolment certificates (for students), and pension, benefit or unemployment certificates, or the equivalent document in your country of tax residence. For the self-employed, VAT and personal income tax returns are accepted."
If I have to send something it will have to be pension related as I am retired but I am not clear what they mean by pension certificate, other than a payslip.
The bank says that if it is not forthcoming within a set deadline they will shut down my account after 90 days of the original letter.
Any thoughts, comments from residents and non residents would be welcome.
Thanks
