NatWest Debanking Report ‘A Work of Fiction’: Nigel Farage

Mr. Farage, who was debanked by Coutts, said it’s ‘laughable’ that the review found no evidence of political bias in the bank’s account closures.

The findings of a review into Coutts’s debanking record have been labelled “a work of fiction” by Nigel Farage, whose account closures triggered the review.

The NatWest-owned private bank, which Mr. Farage said he had banked with for over 40 years, exited the broadcaster and former Brexit Party leader earlier this year without telling him the reason at the time.
