Hello,
I need your advices. ( hope my English is clear)
I’m facing some problems with my spouse and would like to have my savings separate to ( online paperless bank account ) which i don’t need to receive or provide an Address

The question is :
Which bank you would recommend ? I heard about few but not sure which one i should go for?

The new banks (e.g. Monese, Monzo, Revolut) will all be paperless I should think, but you will have to provide current address, and scan of passport etc to open an account, to comply with Money Laundering regulations.
If you separate from your husband, you will not be able to hide this money from the settlement.
If you think you may be in danger, please contact Women's Aid.

Plus any bank account that has £250 or more in it will be declared to hmrc, so unless you go to the Cayman Islands for anonymity they will be told that you have it!

You will never get a bank account without providing your address.

Monzo is paperless . But you would still need to provide an address to open the account and any money in it must be disclosed in divorce proceedings.

Cash in a tin kept in a safe place would be your best bet.

Monzo doesn't require you to have an address. See here - monzo.com/blog/2019/06/12/open-a-uk-bank-account-without-proof-of-address

You will need an address for them to deliver the card to. but after that, they verify the checks using your date of birth.
