It's all political and people can hate you for no reason.

Luckily I had accounts with other banks and simply switched monies across.
Then opened others with a variety of banks (the new online banks like Monzo and Starling are terrific).
Much happier now. NatWest were ghastly. They do this to hundreds every year.
Checking online they are far and away the worst for this globally.
There are even several online sites for NatWest victims.
Worldcheck has become a curse. Banks can pay for a licence which gives them access to a database of individuals with convictions for fraud or money laundering, Politically exposed persons, etc. Then they run a search to check if there are any matches. The lazier ones just close down any account that shows up a match.
It's very scary that this has spread to all criminal convictions, not just those involving fraud and similar malfeasance.
I hope this doesn't spread to Ireland, as I have several 'previous' for drunken nonsense.
Natwest have always been c.unts, IIRC they were the worst regarding the overcharging scandal.

Very good point Nigel, I don't trust him, however Halifax shut my account for taken out too much hard-earned cash out.
Whole Truth
In the full blown age of P.C./Political Correctness aka Pure Cowardice, and 'guilt by association'.
Establishment Banks (Bank$tas) don't want any perceived 'outsiders' causing potential embarrassment, and they covertly flag them as 'PEP' Politically Exposed Persons'.
Tho, hidden accounts making huge interest by billionaires like Musk, Gates, Bezos might conveniently slip under the fakestream radar?
