So all you’ve got is evidence that Coutts caters for an elite and has political/class/wealth reasons for denying Farage an account, but the NatWest banking group (constrained by the same regulations as Coutts) doesn’t have the same subjective criteria.

As I said, if Farage couldn’t pass regulatory conditions then no bank would touch him.

Clearly he isn’t there.

So Coutts have gone with other reasons, and other banks even owned by the same firm haven’t.

So Farage isn’t being cancelled by British banks. He’s just the kind of person that Coutts doesn’t want as a customer... Which is a very broad list in Coutts’ case because they specifically want rich bluebloods and aristocrats who don’t create scenes, not rabble rousing uppity popinjays.

So, storm in a tea cup. Coutts being massive snobs is the worst kept secret in 200 years of British banking.

No, actually what we've all got are their own internal deliberations in which they embark on a typical leftist screed calling Farage a "racist", whining about Brexit and openly admit that he is a good customer and perfectly viable commercially but that he "doesn't align with our (Leftist, Globalist, Illegal Immigrant, Gaia Worshipping, Tranny supporting) values".

Furthermore, Farage was denied by 8-9 other British Banks despite having plenty of cash, a high credit score, etc etc. In other words, for political reasons. The same has been true of others - particularly those who were more Conservative - as well as their family members. Let's not pretend this is anything other than political. It obviously is.
