I know nothing about them, thats the problem, I can`t see any indication of contact details on the website.

This may be genuine based on the paragraph from the T&C`s, but it sounds like they are phishing to me.

Fasteasy online bank account service for UK residents. This website is an independent marketing website and not a lender. We pass on enquiries to financial service providers and cannot offer financial advice. We are not responsible or liable for any financial service product obtained through a third party. A bank account enquiry from this website does not constitute an offer to provide a bank account.


My job got a lot less stressfull when I realised I hate my customers.

Looks dubious.
They should be able to perform their search of financial products without your name, address and date of birth. The other information is not person specific.

Probably a scam, as this information gives them enough for ID fraud, just lacking your national insurance number!

If you campare how somewhere like www.moneysupermarket.com works, you can do all this without giving them any information as to who you are!

This don`t look like a bargain for Bargin Buckets forum to me.

You might get more feedback if you post it in "General" perhaps?
