If you have a mailing address (e.g. a PO Box) would that work?  

P.O. box, almost certainly not, as even Ontarians have to provide a residential address if providing a P.O. box as a mailing address. A better strategy would be to be a "guinea pig" for us and try using a non-Ontario address and ticking the box to declare yourself as an Ontario resident. If it's anything like Windsor Family Credit Union and OmniaDirect, which are both notionally restricted to Ontario residents, non-Ontario residents can probably, unofficially, sign up, as there have been reports of Alberta residents signing up for OmniaDirect and, possibly, parent WFCU.

Cheers,

As well, Saven will try to validate identity by "comparing your personal information with a credit bureau, credit reporting agency or other parties such as telecommunications and utility providers."

There will be issues when the info does match what is reported by Equifax and TransUnion.
