Job interview asked me for card details?!

[DuckyMoDuckyMoMo]

Is this normal? I have a interview with Thomson as a Sales Rep on Tuesday and she told me to bring my PP/Driving Licence, my NI Number and my bank card?

Any reason why I've never had this before (card bit I have been to interviews lol)

Its probably any easy form of ID?

But im bringing my Full driving licence and NI Number, she said to bring my bank details that's what through me lol

I suppose to prove you are who you say you are but the card is OTT.

I really don't know

I've asked people to bring a bill/bank statement as proof of address or bank details to have ready to pay into.

I guess for ID too, I had to take my passport and something with my address on when I started my job

possibly so you have your bank details so they can pay you.

Sorry just seen it's an interview... looks promising then!

Ah - did she say bank details or bank card

Bank details is standard as it means you have all the I do needed for both ID checking (a home office requirement) & RTI payroll.

Credit check? I had to have one when I had a job in sales?

Or if you're successful, they set up your pay with HR?

But I haven't got the job yet :S and by the phone call a lot of people are being interviewed. My DS said she only asks for PP/DL and bank details if she's giving someone the job but she works for Costa haha.

I've never been asked for it before at a first interview so will be interesting to see. I guessed it wasn't for a credit check lol

pictures she said bank details

It's good practice to ask at interview as if you don't people tend to forget to bring it in & under new rules you both have to prove someone has the right to work in the UK & you can't set up payroll these days (you used to be able to enter a temporary NI number for example.

Watch out, friend's DS was interviewed and asked for details this week by phone and it was a scam. Did she ask for details over phone or in person in branch?

It's so they can PAY you.

well hopefully it's all on the up! I hear Thomson are rather good to work for

Buzzard She told me to bring them in when I had my interview.

Porto I know that but like I said I haven't been given the job yet!

Pay OP for what though it is only an interview?

I find this very strange. I have only been asked to bring in proof of ID such as passport or driving licence.

I can't find anything online about it either [hmmm]

Bank card could just be to verify signature?

She didn't ask for my card just the details have yet to sign my bank card to

If its Thomson travel agents I work for them and had to supply my bank details when I was offered the job not at interview iirc. Maybe the interviewer just getting ahead of themselves?

Yeah it's Thomson Travel Agents. Maybe she was! Couldn't think of any reason why she'd need them at the interview..

What was the interview like?

Credit check probably.

So they didn't ask for your bank card?

No they asked for my bank details.

She said bring your PP, NI Card and your bank details
