Hi. I have three foster children who live with me. They are Congolese refugees with no birth certificates or passports etc. However, they do have ILR and UK-issued Travel Documents. I have copies of the paperwork for this. I am finding it almost impossible to open them bank accounts because of their lack of paperwork. Can anyone suggest a bank that is helpful please? Thanks.

How old are they?

What bank(s) have they tried?

They are all teenagers and I've tried Santander, Halifax, Natiinwide and others, but seem to be getting the same response each time.
