A review into the bank that closed Nigel Farage’s account said there was no evidence of political discrimination, but potential rule breaches have been found in the process of account closures.

The reviewer, law firm Travers Smith, was appointed in July to conduct a two-phase external review by Coutts owner NatWest Group after CEOs of both firms were forced to resign over the closure of the former Brexit Party leader’s accounts.
