Can I open a bank account without photo ID?

Photo ID includes passport, driving license, Pass Card or National ID card. Most banks or banking alternatives require photo ID to process an application for an account.

The options for those without photo ID can be much more limited and mean you must go through a much longer process to open an account. You won’t be able to open an account online and in minutes.

You can with Suits Me.

Suits Me knew this was a problem for thousands of people across the UK and opened the No Photo ID option to help those who wanted to open an account quickly and easily but don’t have a passport, driving license or other ID.
