I've been offered a 3 month temporary contract with HSBC (not in a branch).
I went back to work 4 years ago after 6 years as a SAHM. The agency is now requesting a year's worth of bank statements to 'prove' I wasn't working as I can't provide employer references for the last 5 years (only 4). They've already done a credit check on me, which I was surprised about as I thought they were paying me for doing a job and I'm not applying for a loan or a mortgage etc.
I/we have several accounts, one for DDs, one for food, another for spending money etc so not sure how sending statements for any one of those accounts is going to prove anything. I suggested the agency/HSBC contacts the tax office but the agency is insisting on bank statements. I don't particularly want to have to sit in a queue to one of my banks to request backdated statements from 5 years ago (for which they'll no doubt charge me). I'm tempted to tell them it's none of their business and look for a different job.
