ABOUT

"Over 280.000 people in the United Kingdom are homeless. Without a fixed address they find themselves in a lose-lose situation where not having a home makes it virtually impossible to open a bank account, which makes it harder to receive benefits, harder to secure a job, harder to find a home. It’s a vicious circle.

HSBC UK partnered with Shelter, a homeless charity, to create the No Fixed Address Service. The bank provides bank accounts for the homeless and the charity provides the address needed on the necessary paperwork. This allows the homeless to break the cycle of financial exclusion."
