HSBC No Fixed Address programme

The HSBC UK No Fixed Address programme supports people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity by helping them open a bank account without needing proof of address or standard identification. Instead, individuals can apply with support from partner charities, who help verify their identity. Having access to a bank account is an important step towards independence, allowing people to receive wages or benefits, manage their money, and apply for jobs. The programme aims to remove common barriers and help individuals move towards stable housing and employment.
