Farage

I suspect their usual checks flagged him as a risk and so he was reviewed and found wanting. So he got dropped.

If he wasn't a racist xenophobic Putin advocate then they might have given him more leeway.

I wonder if the bib would have mattered to them if he was banking with them with a net worth of £10 billion and a few close billionaire associates/friends who also banked with them.

I expect that would have made a difference. But if we're opening up this thread to rants about capitalism in general then that's a slightly different matter.

But again, it just underscores that he didn't meet their financial criteria so he got offered a conventional product instead.

Is an account with Coutts the financial equivalent of a private number plate?

 

[noseall]

Xenophobic racist, Brexiteer, Trump horn-smoker, Forrige has received an apology from Natwest CE Alison Rose, for their very public outing of the failed MP. However, every cloud......

































"...The bank has now offered "alternative banking arrangements" at NatWest..."

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour by a big bank, but what else would you expect.

It’s a Regulated business.

I suspect Coutts have many repetitional risky customers.

I suspect they will get more negative PR.

Banks face threat to licences over Farage bank account row

Banks could face conditions on their licences after Nigel Farage said his account was shut over his views.

So is our local academy but it still expels kids when it wants to; each body has a broad discretion within their rules. Farrage ceased to be commercially viable when his mortgage was paid off, simples.

Coutts and any right minded person thinks the same.

Perhaps only remoaners victimise others over their beliefs.
