I tried to open Santander Bank Checking account again - may be i will get different questions to go ahead with the application or simply call the customer service to go ahead. But I am not able to open the account second time also. I was provided very very difficult questions to answer and that too in less than 10 minutes ( XXXX seconds time counter going on ). Is this bank really want to do the business??? Why so much difficult questions. I called upon Customer Service and talked to XXXX at XXXX to XXXX XXXX but he was also not of much help. Finally as a fall back option - I uploaded my Arizona Driver 's license and XXXX statement - XX/XX/XXXX statement but end of the day - my application was declined. XXXX told me that if in case i am travelling to North east - i can visit the branch ... .so do they expect people to fly down to their branch just because they have created totally useless and terrible Account opening module? Moreover I am not opting for overdraft protection - so why they need to so much extra vigilant in terms of identity protection ... it 's good to have identity protection to make sure somebody does n't steal your identity but if it is coming in the way of genuine and real folks ... then it 's a big problem ... i was able to answer all the questions that XXXX asked ... then why i am not able to open the account? I am in this country since XX/XX/XXXX and changed locations also. This kind of process is just too much unfair for people like me ... .why do they expect that i remember all the phone numbers for the last 15 years? Why do they expect that i should remember which credit card i had it and on what month and year? why do they expect that i should remember when my loan got closed?? Is n't it too much??? where is the limit???? this is ridiculous by every means and that too they are pressurizing the customer to answer and remember everything in less than 10 minutes otherwise you are declined. They declined my application ( i got the email immediately ) even without seeing my driver 's license and Bank statement ... .You ca n't be so so tough on anybody ... .this is absolutely ridiculous and nothing else. And if they had to anyway decline my application - why they collected all the information at the first place??? Why they wasted my time ... almost 20 minutes to work on this process of opening the account??? why not this verification process at the very start of the account opening process? Moreover how secure is my information that i have provided to them ... this is PII data - how they are protecting my identity after collecting this information from me.
