Providing personal account information to a third party

The aim of this document is to help you decide whether or not you should be giving information to third parties calling on behalf of an account holder and what to say if you decide not to. This guidance would be a useful training aid for any organisation that commonly deals with personal information or that regularly faces enquiries from the general public.
