How many trips have you made into the branch where you opened the account? You need to speak directly with the manager.

@Robin ******

yes. I jumped through all the hoops.

@James *******

you're kidding? Surely the UK banking system is developed to the point they're required to provide you a reason while they're locking your assets?

@James *******

in developed countries? Why was your UK bank frozen for 90 days?

Let's hope so.

@James *******

all these presumptuous, judgemental, finger wagging expats could leave the country and stop twisting on their stink finger.

@David ********

as I understand it, they are the primary problem but also Cambodians and Russians. I have been told that the authorities were trying to lock these foreigners into the country to provide enough time in order to prosecute them and that is part of the reason they did not inform honest depositors in advance that they were locking the accounts. Seems a very regressive and clumsy way to handle a specific problem with no concern how their actions affected good customers.

@David ******

I value ethical business practices and transparency especially from a bank holding my deposits

@Christopher *******

100% agree👍

@Sandro-Sam ********

dodgy, yep.
