Some banks have been known to close accounts that use it out of fraud/money laundering concerns

Re: The Bank of Farage
Not Farage but it does happen:
Yorkshire Building Society has been accused of closing an account of a client after he asked why their branches were festooned with Pride flags.
Yorkshire Building Society today declined to comment on the case but a spokesman said: 'We would only make the difficult decision to close a savings account if a customer is rude, abusive, violent or discriminates in any way, based on the specific facts and behaviour in each case'.

Re: The Bank of Farage
Although not Farage, I’m aware of an online blogger who also claimed similar that their bank withdrew services after 20 years on the basis of them not sharing the “accepted” opinions on trans issues.

Re: The Bank of Farage
Yorkshire Bank PLC are known for closing bank accounts as Mr. Michael Howard of Leeds will attest. Warning, contains a rude word.
Ironically, I've had my bank account closed this month because they are literally closing the bank. I wonder if Nige is in the same bank as me.

Re: The Bank of Farage
No, he is/was with Coutts (and that's not closing).

Re: The Bank of Farage
Oh, I know. I just thought it was a strange coincidence. I never imagined he'd actually bank with a mere mortals like me.

Re: The Bank of Farage
The Yorkshire BS has claimed they don't close accounts on the basis of opinions, yet in their next sentence says they do on the basis of comments. How is that not closing on the basis of opinions?

We never close savings accounts based on different opinions about beliefs or feedback from customers. We only ever close an account if a customer is rude, abusive, violent or discriminates in any way, based on the specific facts, comments & behaviour in each case.

Re: The Bank of Farage
Being rude, insulting, violent, discriminatory, or derogatory towards bank staff is not being opinionated…

Obviously wouldn't close an account down if someone just made an innocent enquiry. It makes no business sense to lose customers. One of the listed criteria must have been met.

All I was asking is whether the link said any of his actions were covered by any of that? The link DOES say it's based upon comments.
Is it likely that a vicar acted in that manner?
