You can apply for a Golden Years current account online, over the phone, or in your local branch. For joint accounts, we’ll only be able to open a Golden Years current account if both applicants are aged 66 or over.
- Online – Choose the device (mobile or computer) you want apply on and get your details ready. You will need to upload:

Here’s a list of acceptable documents. Then follow the on-screen instructions. We’ll ask you to take a selfie in the application form, so make sure you are camera ready.
For joint applications, we’ll send the second applicant an email with a link, so they can fill in their part of the application and upload their ID and Proof of address.
- Branch – Visit your local branch and fill in the application form using a Kiosk or with the help of a staff member. You can give your photo identification (ID) and proof of address to a branch staff member, or you can upload them yourself using the link that will be emailed to you after you submit the application.
