COUTTS:
The bank that likes to create own PR disasters
Even own staff seem baffled that his account was closed https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1787918/Farage-bank-closed-vox-pops-coutts

Banks should not be closing people’s accounts solely due to their status as a Politically Exposed Person
I've written to @TheFCA - asking them to prioritise their review on this issue 👇 https://t.co/2kvugoXdPF

I am delighted that the Chancellor and City Minister are putting pressure on the FCA to review why banks are giving UK PEPs such a hard time.
Even better would be to change the law. It is an EU directive and a Brexit government ought to deal with it.

Just some of the messages that I am getting. Coutts will not admit that this is a political decision. Dishonest in the extreme. @BBCSimonJack https://t.co/TEsZT0MtTR

At no point in the last 10 years did Coutts give me a min threshold.
More importantly, the offer of a Natwest personal acct only came after I went public last Thursday.
No business solution was offered, and they even denied I was a PEP, which is why 9 other banks have said no. https://t.co/DO9yMFKzGT

Simon Jack: Nigel Farage fell below the financial threshold required to hold an account at Coutts, the prestigious private bank for wealthy customers the BBC has been told.
It also understood that he was offered a normal account at Natwest which owns Coutts.
People familiar....

I bet very few Coutts customers have £1m sitting in their current accounts.
I wonder what made the bank think that giving out my personal financial details to the FT and BBC was ethical or legal?
Something else is at play here.
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Simon Jack: Thank you to the Coutts customers who have been in touch saying they fall below financial thresholds but unlike Farage have not been threatened with account closure. Clearly a lot of discretion available to the bank.

This is the beginning of something very important. Our banks must be politically neutral.
Well done to the treasury. Now we need fast action.

Just to keep people up to date… I have just had the 9th bank rejection confirmed.
Maybe I need to go to law and fight this for the sake of so many people.

Nigel Farage: The establishment are trying to force me out of the UK by closing my bank accounts.
I have been given no explanation or recourse as to why this is happening to me.
This is serious political persecution at the very highest level of our system.

As I warn in today’s Telegraph, if your views don't conform to your bank’s 'values' then they will close your account.

It should alarm everybody that a bank has the power to punish those it considers to have erred or strayed.
