The first bank application I checked requires a "residence or street address" and specifically forbids PO boxes. You also need to have current, government-issued ID, which also requires proof of residence.
It's simply not easy at all to participate in the modern economy if you are a transient or anyone else without a permanent address.
- ufmace 12y agoA while back, I had a mailbox at one of those Mailboxes etc. businesses, and I was able to have all sorts of things that don't allow PO boxes sent to it, since it looks like an apartment address. Worth a try for anybody in that situation.
- dublinben 12y agoUsing such an address as your "permanent residence" could very well constitute fraud. You certainly don't live in a Mailbox store. Just because you can receive mail there, doesn't mean it's your address.
