Banking with Limited Documents (Ukraine Scheme Support)

Opening a bank account is important for wages and benefits. If you do not have many UK papers yet, it can still be possible with the right support.

What to do: Ask your support centre to help you find banks that accept Ukraine scheme documents or letters from support services. Look at banks like Monzo or Starling online and follow their simple guides while a support worker helps you fill in details.

What do you need: You need your passport, visa or scheme letter, UK address if you have one and a mobile phone for security codes.

Outcomes: You will have a UK bank account where you can receive salary, benefits and make everyday payments.

Lifehack: Keep screenshots of any bank ID checks you complete, in case the app logs you out during the process.
