Really? At the bank I have had sign over a right for them to receive every contact note for any shares I buy or sell. I also have to submit requests to buy or sell shares. That's an Apra requirement. I'm also not allowed to have directorships in more than one company, and it has to be an approved directorship. So it really does depend on who it is and what it means to you. A credit check to ensure that you aren't susceptible to bribery might be reasonable too depending on who it is. If it's some random numpty, sure, tell them to get stuffed, but some places really do need extra checks on their staff.
