Working in the community can be hard work. Doing good isnt all that easy, especially when theres very little money and hardly any support to go round. Inevitably, a lot of time is spent trying to raise funds to make things happen. In Britain that means applying to charitable trusts and all the quasi-governmental organisations like the National Lottery, and that means getting a bank account opened. Ehhh, thats when life gets difficult.

This week I turned up at my local bank with an application to open a bank account on behalf of the newest charitable venture in our area that I was supporting. I thought I had things ready. I had filled in the form and got my neighbour to sign it too. No chance, I was told. For a start, the Manager of the bank was on her lunch-break and couldnt see me until later. I offered to come back the next day. That would be fine, I was told, as long as the two of us showed up. My colleague would have to be there too, in person. It was because they didnt know us, I was told. I sympathised. After all, I could have been an international drug dealer seeking to launder my many millions of pounds of ill-gotten gains. I made an appointment for the following afternoon.

The next morning, waiting for the appointed hour, I had a brain wave. Sure, the local bank didnt know me, but both of us who signed the form also had an account at the same bank at the main building in the city. They knew me there, I reasoned. Id go there and get the account opened. After all, I had the form all filled in and signed. What else would I need?
Another form, I was told later. Yes, they knew me at the main branch of the bank, the woman assured me, but it was a new account and theyd have to see both of us, in person, (just like the first person said). No, I couldnt open the account then and there. Id have to go away. Frustrated, I complied and moved on to my former appointment that afternoon, fearing that Id only be met with another hurdle. Sure enough. I hadnt filled in the application form, the right one. I had filled in the mandate form okay, but that wasnt enough. There was a second form. I was sent away.
Well yes, the answer to all the form filling and showing identification and personal appearances, is that they want to avoid money launderers. So, I want to ask you this question
