Red Tape/Changing Address
People I need to inform of an address change:
Banks
First Direct: current & joint account Santander: current & joint account Co-op: current & business account Principality: savings account
First Direct
You must phone them in order to change address, but it can be done immediately over the phone after answering a couple of security questions.
- Contact Details
- https://www2.firstdirect.com/1/3/ourDetails?BlitzToken=true
- Phone (as of 2019-05-14)
- 03 456 100 100
Santander
You can change the address directly in the banking website.
- Online Banking Site
-
- Choose Change personal details from the left hand menu and then click Change address.
- Enter your new details (including postcode) and follow the onscreen instructions.
- Please note: you'll need to enter a One Time Passcode (OTP) to complete this change, so make sure you have your mobile phone to hand.
Co-op
TBC
Principality
You can change your details in the online banking site.
- Online Banking Site
-
- Messages -> Write menu & link at top of page
- Choose Change of personal details from 'Reason' options
- Enter address and send
- It claims that customers who've been with Principality for less than 12 months who are changing address need to provide ID; implying that those who'e been with them for more than 12 months do not.
Card Payments
Emusic
At first glance, they don't appear to require an address for their card payments - they only have Zip Code; I re-entered the details with the new 'Zip Code' anyway, just to be sure.
Amazon
Pretty straightforward - open account; open card details; change address.
Steam
Can be changed in Steam client:
- 'panglossian' drop down in top right -> Account Details
- Store & Purchase History -> payment methods shows 'Visa ending in **..' and Edit link.
- Choose Visa and enter all new details
- Confirm and done.
Gog
In the Gog client:
- Panglossian drop down -> Orders
- Payment Options - You can only remove a card; you will have to add it next time you buy something from Gog.
