Coutts wouldn’t be obliged in his subject access request to disclose anything indicative of ongoing or previous criminal investigations (even if they came to nothing).

And there is the essence of this - given he is a proven & habitual liar, he would need to provide proof that (high street) banks other than Coutts refused his application to open an account.
Hypothetically speaking, if a high profile racist/bigot with a very public social media footprint approached a "private" bank and asked to open an account, I suspect that in most cases they would be politely turned away. With more and more accounts coming from the younger base, such a customer would pose an active deterrent to these high net worth individuals joining. Sort of obvious really ...
