Is it possible to pen a bank account without my husband knowing?

If you do use a different address for correspondence, it’s possible that this address will appear in the online identity checks that banks do based on credit records and not just for you but also for your spouse.

If it’s an address that means nothing to him then it may not matter, although he may wonder why he’s failing the identity check.

I say this because my mother has had something similar happen. My mother and father had joint accounts and financial products. My father left. Years later my mother will still sometimes have his new address appear as one of the addresses associated with her in the options to choose for confirmation of identity.

When I opened my Metro account, I had the card printed in the branch. In fact at the time of account opening, I don't think I got anything at all in the post.

However when the card expired, the replacement came in the post. So it's pretty difficult to guarantee getting no post ever for an account. A savings account without a card might be a better bet though.

Hi, i know i can go paperless billing but what other options are to be considered? It doesn't need to be a savings account because not a great deal of money will be deposited. I have been looking but there are so many different accounts!
Thank you.

Starling Bank, the only thing you’ll get in the post is the card and that arrived in a plain envelope iirc.

In the year and a half I’ve been with then I’ve never had any other post from them, not even junk mail.

You can also use the Post Office to carry out your banking with Starling.

Would it not be possible to pick any correspondence, including cards, up at a specified branch?
