It is not a problem to open a bank account with a foreign passport in the UK, and most banks have accounts for those who've just moved to the UK. Hundreds of thousands of people move to the UK every year...

However, you also need proof of address to open a bank account. Which someone moving to the UK won’t have yet. This limits their options of bank accounts.

Which has no relation to Digital IDs whatsoever... and again most banks have accounts that cater for this situation.

  Now this:

  Other countries use their ID systems for exactly this purpose, so I don't see how this has "no relation."
