We were able to open a basic bank account (called Cashminder) with a TV license in my partner's name as proof of address and his passport at the Cooperative Bank. At that stage he only had a family permit and had not yet applied for the RC.a.s.b.o wrote:Guys,
what banks open accounts to EEA family members with COAs and those in the process of applying for RC? We seem to hit the dead ground with oxymoronic morons within several banks (HSBC, Halifax) that know nothing and are not willing to listen to your arguments. Thanks

All banks would require proof of address. Best way to go about this would be to apply for a provisional license with their passport. And what about a council tax bill with their name on it ? Aren't they listed ? Also if you register them on the electoral roll , the confirmation of registration letter would he enough as address proof.a.s.b.o wrote:We have the problem with proof of address. My parents (dependent family members) only have COA to their name with this address. I cannot change bills in their name nor add to them. I am currently in a bit of a limbo over this.
PS Do likes of Nationwide also require the proof of address?
Thanks

If your dependent family members are not British/Irish/Commonwealth/EU citizens they won't be able to register.a.s.b.o wrote:Thanks for that. Electoral Register is a good way out. However, it states the following
"You must be a British, Irish, Commonwealth or European Union citizen, and you must give your nationality
on the form".
I can apply, can my dependent family members do the same? Phrased differently, are they classed as being EEA nationals too?
Thanks
