Nigel Farage’s Bank Accounts CLOSED (Here's What to Do)

I have always had my permanent address in Canada and paid taxes here as well.

(Sale of crypto) 2) when was the first time I purchased Bitcoin? 3) what was the price of my first Bitcoin purchase? 4) How many Bitcoin I currently owned? 5) How many more millions of dollars I intended to deposit to them from Crypto. 6) many other invasive questions After that I had to fly to HK and demand they give me a million dollars and a million Euro, in cash, and to close my account permanently. I ended up having a meeting with the manager and left with an open account and $20,000 in cash. They did end up appointing me an account manager and issued me 2 unsecured credit cards each with around $22,000 credit limits.

I worked for this banking group, PEP's "politically exposed persons" essentially was a flag on accounts which noted that the account was not to be considered a "normal business" If Farage has US dealings, particularly where these funds are wired to his UK account, he would have had to declare that the company was controlled by him and that he is politically exposed. If the account was a historic personal account, or a business which was opened without the PEP process being followed, it would be closed as the identifier for the type of business cant be changed after opening. If its 43 years old, its possible that it was opened under another business type. Now, if he no longer meets the requirements for coutts private banking he cant re-open a new account which carries the PEP flag and he would be advised to open a retail business account with (the sister retail brands) where they can. There is a good chance that this is a mess up from what is a very badly run bank which is spiralling. However, it illuminates a very important concern we all should have which is access to a bank account, especially when you are a citizen of that country. Regardless of what you believe about Farage, we cannot allow selective rights of citizens based on beliefs... Thats a separate conversation but to be pragmatic, diversify.

I had an account closed in Norway. As I had another dormant account in another bank I managed to get this open again, but I was given several sheets of paper which I had to ask all sorts of questions about crypto currency, if I was expecting a sum at over around 10k Euro to be transferred to the account from abroad. Apparently it was to do with new "EU regulations against white washing", well Norway is not even an EU member but what can you do they are like Soviet Union sneaking in upon you. So after around six months I needed to transfer 17k Euro as I sold an apartment in Germany and some of the money was needed in Norway for renovating a cabin. So a few days after I transferred I got a call from a rather annoyed woman in the bank, at least she sounded annoyed. She asked why I had filled out that I was not going to receive any money from abroad when I just had this amount of 17k Euro transferred. So I said well I did not have any plans for that at the time but now I needed it, whats the problem it's not a crime. It's from a German bank to a Norwegian bank so what's the problem?? Last time I checked German banks hardly handled illegal money. Well I needed to send them proof of what and where the money came from, the purpose of it bla bla bla, like I had done something really serious, transferring 17.000 Euro is a problem? Is it a problem for a Norwegian bank to receive money from an approved German bank?? I can understand if it was from Nigeria etc, but Germany? Well after some days I got a mail from the bank saying the "case was closed from their side", I almost got the impression that they had handed it over to the police fraud squad.. Very difficult to do anything these days with money that does not come from an employment situation, or benefits from the state. If you sell anything expensive like a property, a car, an expensive watch, a boat etc you are seriously questioned and treated like a criminal, I was probably lucky they did not close that account too....

Banking_service is an essential service and therefore should be free from political or personal bias. The bank accounts should be operated according to govt regulations instead of personal opinions of bank employees. "What if" scenarios are developing all over the world mainly targeted at suppression of population either by govt or private entities. Very bad times!

[@harisadu8998]

It was probably Coutts and he may have been offered a Natwest account. It's also possible that he was below the minimum balance for Coutts but a private bank should inform their client to increase their balance at least, not just close it abruptly.

As it turned out, the coutts minimum balance requirement was made up. That term was only added to their website the day after the Farage video.

My mom had a problem with her bank. They said that her signature was no good. But after some arguing, they accepted her signature. So she then put her signature to the test, and withdrew all her money, and closed the account. In both signature cases, it worked perfectly. My personal experience was with the CIBC bank, who at one point created long ago their own ATM version called the "Instant Teller". However, for some time, there was a delay involved due to the instant teller not being tied directly to the main system. So it could take several days before a deposit actually enters your account. As a result of this delay, my rent cheque bounced. CIBC then tried to charge me $25 for this. I said, "No problem. I can take this to court. You call this an instant teller, yet this is actually a delay teller.". They looked at each other, and then said to me, "Forget about the $25 charge.".

He needs a big piggy bank. When the interest rate is so low as 1% in many developed nations, it's even cheaper to keep cash at home or somewhere safer. Bank charges are exorbitant.

I didn't use your service but I generally avoid settling anything in EU and US. I like a lot of the cultural ideas like free speech and stuff but you hit the nail in the head when you talk about it. Freespeech is worse in the US and EU than the rest of the world. Freespeech is protected by law there, but you have to pay for it in legal fights, all the while getting cancelled for free. I do business in Asia, not in China anymore, and there are very few issues you have to avoid. Very few. And you don't get cancelled by randos. You get a visit by police and they'll tell you what is undesirable. It's not pleasant, but it is pretty darn clear and easy to work with as a business owner.

Your savings are your dream and the government should not interfere with it. Sadly, your savings are coveted by the state, so they will be spent in a way that supports their agenda. Just as a house is our castle, so our savings are our dreams, and neither of the two should be encroached upon. Access to banking should not become tied to what someone believes. If we see any trace of this, it indicates that we are falling under a corporate dictatorship.
