  1. 100% legal. You don't have a legal right to have a bank account and the bank doesn't have to give a reason either.This does seem rather sinister though.

  9. As a retired Bank Manager I can tell you its not, neither is refusing to open accounts for certain type of people or businesses. No one has a legal right to a bank account.

  10. @charleswhite758 It's a commercial decision. There is no legal right to have a bank account.

  12. No one has a legal right to a bank account, it's that simple. The bank makes a commercial decision as its entitled to do.

  16.  @bw1376  The only reason more have refused is that he hasn't asked them. Its every bank, they all use use near identical procedures.

  18. What about the DWP, no benefits, shame, never mind.

  19. Whilst this does seem rather sinister, banks are highly regulated and certain types of people and businesses pose greater risks which are commercially not viable. The greatest risk is money laundering and any bank found to have aided this faces huge fines. HSBC were fined nearly £2 billion in the US !

  20. Wrong, no one has a legal right to a bank account.

  21. Banks closing accounts of customers the no longer want is nothing new. Also not opening them for certain types of people isn't new either.

  22. Commercial decision. You may not agree with it and I agree its rather sinister, but they don't have to give a reason.

  23. Probably Coutts, any the wiser ?
