Quoting: Dr. Novosel I live in Croatia but have bank accounts in the states but I had to have a address in the U.S. After the Cyprus fiasco, Brit banks were inviting overseas customers to open accounts in the UK. Apparently there is a mechanism for such banking services to continue, but it looks like Boris hasn't activated it. If he does nothing and these closures occur, it may force tens of thousands of disgruntled expats to return to the UK. I wonder if they'll support Bojo in the future if that happens? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13314493 Netherlands 09/21/2020 02:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't get it. How can a bank take your money just because of where you live. Quoting: Grove Street I mean banks can tell you they no longer want your business, and you can move your money into another bank. are the rules different in UK of where you can put your money.? Nowhere is it mentioned the banks will take the money, the way I understand it expats will just have to open an account at a bank in the country of residence and have their funds transfered. I think this is a measure to prevent tax evasion, it will probably be harder to get a hold of the data required for the UK and vice versa. Too bad British pensioners, no tax evasion for you! That's a right reserved for corporations and the uberwealthy. |
