If he has been flagged, it would be illegal for the bank to tell him why.

If he hasn't been flagged, it would be a breach of privacy laws for the bank to issue a statement specifically relating to him.

Convenient if you wanted to put a spin on things.

I had my account closed this very month. The letter I received didn't inform my why either. It just stated that I had 2 months to sort out an alternative, which I've done, quickly and easily. A quick Google soon told me that the bank are closing all their current accounts by the end of the year which is fair enough but they didn't tell me that.

I dare say, he has a few quid about the place and banks love people like that so I've no idea why they would turn him down but I doubt it's because of his politics. If indeed they have actually refused him.
