A persistent challenge that faces people who have no fixed address is they are unable to open bank accounts or access banking services. Without a bank account, they cannot receive an income or any benefits they may be entitled to, resulting in a cycle of homelessness through not being able to pay for accommodation or secure a tenancy.
In partnership with HSBC and Shelter, Digartref Cyf is proud to be part of the No Fixed Address (NFA) programme to support people that are homeless to access banking services.
Through the programme, Digartref can support people who do not have a permanent address or identification documents usually required to open an account to access basic bank accounts, enabling them to receive income and benefits, achieve financial independence, and help them on the road to securing accommodation, and along with continued support from Digartref’s dedicated staff, reducing the risk of further homelessness for that person.
