It isn’t just the polarizing British political figure Nigel Farage who’s been ‘debanked’ by NatWest; a former customer of the UK bank claims to have had their account closed for crypto trading.
Decrypt spoke to one member of the “NatWest CLOSED down my ACCOUNT” Facebook group, which is preparing to flood the bank with data requests from customers who have had their accounts closed down with little justification, according to reports in the British press.
The former NatWest customer, who preferred to remain anonymous, shared documentary evidence with Decrypt revealing that their NatWest account was closed down because of “cryptocurrency trading.” The bank added that it wasn’t required to disclose the specific reasons behind the account closure.
“I had a business and personal account missing for 2 months,” they told Decrypt, adding that, “They weren’t visible on my banking app. Was told that due to cryptocurrencies they would be ending the relationship with me. Had to use a food bank over last Christmas with no access to my funds.”
