No fixed address.

Not enough spare money to maintain a bank account.

No desire for a high-fee credit card, no access to a low-fee credit card.

No acceptable documentation.

Interesting. The second one strikes me as odd. I have never paid any fees for a current account unless it went into the red, not in the UK nor in Norway. And a debit card is free in Norway and the UK.

They meant that the person doesn’t have enough to maintain the minimum balance in the account.
