There’s a fairly concerning story in the UK press this past month about a famous politician being unbanked because his bank unilaterally decided that he…
“stated views that were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation.”.
Banning their own customers doesn’t seem very inclusive of them, but here are.
The politician has used FOI to get all the banks internal correspondence on him, which is now all over the British press and is humiliating for the bank and ruinous of its professional reputation.
There are also 10,000 other banned customers using the same letter templates to demand copies of internal correspondence relative to their closed accounts.
Virtually this banks entire mail server is going to end up being released to the public and a torrent of ugly lawsuits will follow, probably spelling the end of this banks under current trading name.
