Nigel Farage‘s son debanked

Really?
Wow, that seems very unfair. And why now? Because NF got into Parliament?

I thought this debanking malarkey had been stopped by the Financial Conduct Aurthority? It is obviously continuing. And is pretty scary for those it affects I imagine. No one can function in this world without a bank account! And who are these banks to just cancel people?

With cash disappearing debanking it is not just an inconvenience it could be life threatening in the future. I see a good science fiction novel here.

Farage Jnr finding out that you don't have any choice over who your parents are.

I can’t find anything on this story apart from reading it on GNet! Which son? Which bank?

Well they have 'de-banked' 100s of 1000s of British people living in EU, because of Brexit.

I read online newspapers and there is nothing in the Sun, Express or Mirror about this.

So it that what it is?

Source for this? I'm not seeing anything about it in the news.

Of course: his children have dual nationality haven’t they so they can access things that have been denied to the rest of us
.

I think its a false rumour MayBee its not out there anywhere.

That should have nothing whatsoever to do with it. I hope the banking Ombudsmann gets quickly on to this, and stops bigotry in its tracks. Absolutely disgusting.

Where is the evidence that anything at all has happened?

It's just truly shocking that Nigel's Son has been debanked.
What a disgrace! I saw Nigel telling everyone on GB News this evening and he was understandbly upset about this.

It was Nigel Farage himself on his hourly slot on GB news (which I know is beneath a lot of you)
He mentioned the bank but I don’t remember what it was. He said his son had had a letter or an email asking if he was a son of Nigel Farage and when he said he was he debanked..

False news?

I didn’t know banks could do that - I have never heard of it here. There are that many banks trying to get your business I wouldn’t have thought it was viable. I walk down our very small main street and there are at least 6 banks all wanting our money. Their charges are outrageous and their profits enormous. Maybe they are different over in Europe ?

Some of the UK banks closed the accounts of UK citizens living in the EU because of Brexit. Our pensions come from the UK and are paid into our UK accounts and then we transfer them. Fortunately our bank was not one of the ones that closed accounts. No idea about NF's son, but sounds like there must be more to the story.

Debanking of bank customers has been going on for a while here.
Not only Nigel Farage and his son, there are many instances of it.Nothing to do with Brexit at all.
Google it and you will see.

Can this be true? I understand that there were banking changes following Brexit, which caused problems for people living abroad, but surely not because of parents?
Which bank? Have they responded ?

Credit cards too. We live in France and had our credit cards stopped which was very annoying. So now we live without credit which I suppose is no bad thing.

We’re talking about debanking on this thread, there’s another thread about where Farage is.
