In partnership with Shelter, and other UK and local charities, HSBC Bank is helping people without a fixed home address to open a bank account.
“This gives them a safe place to keep and spend money received from work or benefits, as well as a way to spend or save towards their future,” the banking giant says.

HSBC UK’s No Fixed Address programme is a specialist service available in selected branches.
“If you’re facing housing issues, or you know someone who is, you can get support or advice from the specialist housing and homelessness charities in your area.”
Who can apply
To access the No Fixed Address programme, you must be experiencing housing or homelessness difficulties and receiving support from one of our partner charities.
If you aren’t receiving support from Shelter or one of our other partners, you won’t be able to access the No Fixed Address programme.

Step 1
On its website, HSBC provides the list of supporting charities. From this list, you can find out who its charity partner is in your area.
To access the scheme, you’ll need to call the charity, or visit their website and complete an online referral form.
Step 2
At the appropriate time, your caseworker will contact your local designated HSBC UK branch to arrange an appointment to open an account.
It’s worth noting that, due to Coronavirus, HSBC branches have limited opening times and are operating at a reduced capacity.
Although the service is still available to eligible customers who find themselves in housing and homelessness difficulties, in some areas the service may be limited due to the capacity of our charity partners and local lockdown restrictions.
Step 3
Once the appointment is completed and your account has been approved and opened, any correspondence from HSBC UK will be sent to the local charity address.
Would you like to donate?
HSBC is working with Shelter and other charities “to help break the cycle of financial exclusion”.
“You can make a difference by supporting the essential work of our charity partners,” the bank says. “Every donation will help them to bring hope and stability to more people this Christmas.”
