Dougy Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just heard that HSBC are refusing any RFD's the use of their services. They are being told to find another bank, 60 days notice given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous Brian Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I seem to remember that the Co-Op bank did a similar thing with shoot syndicate bank accounts a few years back. Pot and kettle...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Sounds like bull, RFD banking with HSBC here and no issues ( watch now ill check my emails and be ********! ). The regulations are really strict however and i have heard this rumor before so when i opened my account i asked about it, the only grounds under which they close accounts is that they have had issues with RFD's and other businesses supplying the military and HSBC cant have anything to do with the military for whatever reason, my bank manager told me of one business who had their account closed as they were making brass cylinders for a military contract, which eventually became primers in artillery shells. ( hastily going to check my emails now! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm 90% sure Braces in Bristol have been told by HSBC they have to find a new bank so this is not fake news... Think it even made the local news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry136 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) I was with HSBC, switched to Halifax. I had a separate savings account which i titled "shooting". I received a letter a week after doing this stating that they were shutting down the savings account as I had used an unacceptable title for the account! That was last month.
