The only reputational damage to NatWest has been caused by their own staff.. Two birds with one stone, then. |

My squillions are headed to the COOP comrade. I took them out of Coutts as soon as I heard they were associated with a disingenuous grifter. |

That would be a mistake, Comrade. If you don't bank with a blood-sucking capitalist behemoth, you won't be able to play the victim card when they act like a blood-sucking capitalist behemoth. |

My victim card is solid gold and diamond encrusted. I had Faberge knock it up for me. It cost me squillions. It's a copy of the one Donald Trump was given at birth except the diamonds are real on mine. |

Yes. By yourself. A person acting professionally wont value this sort of thing very much at all. If you feel bank employees combing trough it's customer list to look for 'people who are perceived as dishonest' is appropriate and professional, then you don't have a very sound understanding of human nature. It's clearly corrupt behavior It's self-interested behaviour. It's exactly the sort of the thing Adam Smith would have approved of. I doubt it. It's an intrinsically corrupt / corruptible process I think you would have to be a bit mentally deficient not to see the problem. |

Coutts are still saying the closing of Farage's account was a business decision. That they were going to close it in a few years when his mortgage ended because he didn't meet the other financial criteria, but that he surprised them by paying off his mortgage early and so the bought forward the closure.
They say that they do consider customer behaviour, but only in respect to any economic damage such behaviour might cause.
As far as I'm concerned this is no different to Pepsi deciding to withdraw advertising for 'political' reasons. They are businesses and vulnerable to public opinion.
Should everyone be entitled to a bank account, that's a different question.

It depends what reason they give for not allowing a account, and then depending on their response will depend on whether they are breaking any laws or rules. |

Paying the government hush money ..
NatWest to pay UK government £190m as Farage crisis rocks bank
Crisis-hit group plans to pay dividends worth £500m to investors after quarterly profits rise by 27%
NatWest has said it will make a fresh £190m payout to its largest shareholder, the UK government, days after Downing Street triggered the resignation of chief executive Alison Rose amid a row over Nigel Farage’s accounts.
** That's ^^ very magnanimous of them.

The reason they give is that he didn't have over a million invested with them of 2 million in liquid assets. That is their criteria. If either of these is true I see no reason for them to need to bring forward any concerns they might have about his political views and deal with the flack that might bring. |
