In early 2018, the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (now NatWest Group) announced its plans for restructuring to comply with new UK-wide rules on ring-fencing retail banking operations from investment banking operations. As part of this restructuring, all retail banking assets of the Royal Bank of Scotland were transferred to Adam and Company, which was renamed Royal Bank of Scotland. Adam and Company continued as a private banking brand operating on the main PRA licence of RBS, where customers enjoyed privileged services such as relationship management and discounts on standard retail banking products but where FSCS protection for deposits and other regulatory matters were not distinct from those relating to high street banking customers.[4]
In 2022, RBS transferred the banking and lending business to Coutts & Co. using a banking business transfer scheme approved by the Court of Session in Edinburgh under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

Aww! Did you think that the CEO of Coutts spends all his spare time helping little old ladies across the street and volunteering at the local donkey sanctuary?

He was a she by the way, and if the little old ladies were wealthy enough like the Queen I would imagine they'd be throwing red carpet over puddles for them.

Shame the manfrog's sleeping on a park bench now, then, isn't it?
You may call him a corgi, a labrador, or a beagle; but you must not call him a dog.
''The bank only closed my account because so many people think I'm a racist xenophobe and they don't want to be associated with my political opinions''.
Monte. I know what you are saying , but as ive tried to debate with my mate zany . This isnt about farage , and your personal dislike of him and his politics.
This is about freedom of speech and the ability to hold views , while going about your daily business in society without being "debanked/cancelled" for holding those views.
Its a helluva hill for anglo remainers and many on the left to die on. Predictably , despite all the sneering about farage , he has come out of it looking like the martyr , and stronger , while brexiters , many on the right , and i would argue society in general have got right behind him.
Meanwhile those who hate farage have ended up with egg on their faces. You only need to read zanys comments in this thread..........where he went from trying miserably to justify farages cancellation with all sorts of puerile ( and untrue) reasons , to being reduced to banal empty one liners in a game of last wordism.
I would let it go mate. Its unwinnable. Yet another episode of unjustifiable anti democracy in action , a bit like the events immediately post the brexit ref where similar puerile excuses were being made for the lack of implementation of the brexit ref result.
Farage could be the biggest racist xenophobe on the planet .It still doesnt justify his cancellation. This isnt supposed to be north korea mate.
Meh. Mr deregulation is reduced to screaming for more regulation of the banks and using EU legislation to support his case because suddenly he's the victim when the Queen's own bank thinks he's so toxic it damages their reputation to have him in their millionaire's club which it turns out he doesn't have enough cash in his account to belong to anyway. Plus the bonus of banks shares falling across the board because Brexit moved the centre of European banking from London to Frankfurt.
What's not to like? More bank regulation, bring it on. Hobo Nige described as a racist, xenophobic, grifter. Fucking hilarious. It's the most fun I've had on here in months. Much more fun than the usual whiny ''victims'' bitching and moaning about the moderation because they've had a couple of posts deleted for calling fellow members supporters of paedophiles.
I imagine the lefties run that too, so he'd be instantly banned.
Poor manfrog! Nobody likes him.
It's a but weird not liking someone you don't know from Adam, so your dislike for him is just the same as Coutts, you don't like his politics, so much for democracy.

Meh! He's a liar and a Putin enabler. Putin isn't very popular at the moment.
