Their main objective being making money? Yes, of course. He was below their threshold for an account and his mortgage was paid up early. That in itself sounds a little odd, come to think of it. It appears that they'd already told him that they were going to **** him off, too.
The fact that Farage was outed as a Coutts's customer by an article in The Times 2-3 years ago is a detail which continually gets buried throughout this convenient distraction from Dan Wootton
The Times said it in June 2019 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/everyman-farage-banks-with-coutts-09jkrm2k9 I don't recall any complaints from him then
The mans right, before the invasion and popular disgust most banks were quite happy to keep the money of Russian billionairs and never worried about how they got it. Now the World has seen what's happening in the Ukrain all the banks are taking a sudden moral stance and has made banks worry about their reputation. Corporate virtue signalling is quite a good description.
That is not Russophobia That is realising that money can only get so dirty before it becomes a liability to handle it
What exactly do you mean and when did you say it? Not sure Roman has any say in this war and certainly hasn't made any money from it.
This analysis is basically correct and demonstrates the opposite of what you think it does....they were perfectly happy to give him an account while he met their published criteria but couldn't find any mitigating reasons to give him one when he didn't. The idea that Coutt's Private Bank is some sort of woke organisation looking for right wingers to cancel is laughable.
That's pretty much what they did do but the source was the CEO and it is completely unacceptable that she leaked confidential info on her client.
The client can make claims and the bank cannot rebutt them without breaking client confidentiality. So your two cases depend on the client being honest and the bank lying. You have no evidence to support that. In any case Farage has agreed that he didn't meet the account criteria.
Weren't the banks and pretty much any business forced to stop doing business with the Ruskies by the UK government and various sanctions? I doubt they had a choice, and had they had the choice I reckon most would've continued. You can see that in other parts of the world.
