And can't get a new one, apparently.
How does someone live without a bank account these days?
Edit: is there a bank of last resort that will take anyone? [Post edited 30 Jun 2023 0:33]

What about Aaron Banks.
Nothing dodgy there, which might put Fart Rage off.
He could always try First Czech-Russian Bank, though that was taken over by Moscow-based aeronautics firm Aviazapchast JSC in 2016. Which lent money (funded) a far right, anti EU Party.
No, nothing to do with any of Fart Rages various companies/partys, as far as I know. It is Le Pen de ma Tante and her bunch of Milice, being the recipients.
Though...
" Laws around Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) were to blame for his inability to open an account. He claims.
The Financial Action Task Force, a global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, defines Politically Exposed Persons as individuals who undertake a “prominent public function” and are therefore considered “high-risk” by financial institutions.
In many places, including the UK, their accounts are subject to additional anti-money laundering measures due to their potential involvement in bribery or corruption. "
Bribery, corruption .... Farage ?
Labour MP’s Chris Bryant’s used parliamentary privilege to claim that Farage had received money from the Russian government

A couple of things here:
1. From the FT article: "Farage also said that he may have been covered by the “politically exposed person” regime"
Any bank would have some visibility about where he might have receives funding from, they are mandated not to ignore anything dubious (see HSBC's big fines etc).
2. If this led to him pushing some crypo rubbish would anyone be surprised? Grifters gonna grift. |  |

Having a bank account isn't a fundamental right. Many people struggle to get approved (due to poor credit, bankrupcy, etc).
I think the post office do some sort of basic bank account for people who struggle to get an account with the major banks. It's designed for them to have their benefits or pension paid into.
Get yourself down the Post Office, Nige! Oh, and stop accepting dodgy payments from your Russian pals! |  |

As long as someone has to take him, that's fine. I mean it's hilarious on one hand, but on the other, quite sinister (if it were to happen to a decent person) | |

Most of the journey is over land though, there must be a TV programme there for the making, Farage travels the Sahara on camel with the Tuaregs. |  |

It is funny cos it happened to Farage yes. But yes, you are correct in saying it's a bit worrying (if a political decision). I dont think banks should be refusing people based on their political views. If it's based on who has been paying money into his account, then fair enough! | |

Which would put him somewhere in Northern Libya. He'd love it there and I am sure they would welcome him too. | |

It isn't a political decision, is it. Otherwise there would be similar cases being reported from other far right politicos. There is a good reason why banks are avoiding this shyster.
Fartrages only selling point now is his supposed 'outsider against the establishment'. Which is akin to Ginger Toms whines about how him and his missus are being hounded out of the royal family. Like Fartrage they are part of what they whine about.
The whole world of Leave and other sundry anti EU shy te hawks has long been the subject of numerous allegations of Russian money. With the Tories, there is £2.3m known of. As with Trump, Johnson the net is closing. It will take a bit longer, but I suspect fraudulent PPE contracts will eventually be brought to book at some point. | | | |

so Farage is off then ?
Where is he going to go ? To an EU country where these anti-fraud banking regulations don't exist /
However, expect righties to offer up their similar experiences
"I merely wondered why some policemen look young, and next thing two blokes from my bank were at my door telling me all my accounts were closed, the pro wokey cokey government has cancelled my pension, the Labour council had repossessed my house and given it to a Rwandan refugee family* and my british bulldog has been put down"
"Because I voted Brexit, I am banned from entering any bank or Post Office"
"My bank now only serves white customers every other Tues afternoon, between 3-4pm. They told me my £10 donation to the Conservative Party means I am a dangerous subversive"

'outsider against the establishment'
He does like playing that card doesn't he, though with his public school education and (until now) Coutts bank account, the whole anti-establishment thing seems a bit thin. |  | | |
| Farage has had his bank accounts closed on 17:28 - Jun 30 with 3670 views | HARRY10 |
That's all he has left now
Germany were not beaten in 1918, because the populace were literally starving, the economy had not the necessary raw materials to make enough munitions nor armaments to keep going and the country would not have survived another winter.
No, they were 'stabbed in the back'.
Brexit was not a shthouse of an idea with no possibility of it ever being anything else, but it failed because it too was stabbed in the back, by not being implemented as the lies promised.
So are we to assume that Farage's prediction in 2017 that the EU was disintegrating before our eyes, stop disintegrating because err ........ something or other.
