 Re: Amazon Bank Account Suddenly Unverified
I had a saver attached to this account. Been on there for a decade no issues. The Amazon rep told me they now take a test charge from the bank account to check the bank account owners details match the Amazon account. Where it's a saver this would obviously fail. I disbursed on Wednesday no problem, so something has changed. I've never heard of this, and don't see how they can without a Direct Debit in place. it's always been the charge card receives a test charge. Anyone had this recently?
also.... When adding a new bank account it states "By registering your bank account and proceeding, you hereby release Amazon Payments UK from any confidentiality obligations and agree that we may send information about your bank account and selling account to your bank or payment service provider to verify your bank account information and protect against fraud, illegal activity and abuse. We also receive information about your identity and bank account from your payment service provider to protect against fraud, illegal activity and abuse. For more information about our Payment Service Provider programme and how we manage your personal information, go to Acceptable bank accounts and payment service providers and the Amazon Payments UK Privacy Notice. You may not be able to assign this bank account as a deposit method or receive disbursements to it until your payment service provider has completed required know-your-customer and other risk management controls."
Anyone aware that Amazon and the bank shares info? Again never seen this before.
