No, just like any other bank in the country, they’re allowed to close accounts for any reason as long as they abide by the contractual notice period. Accusations of anything simply don’t come into it.
Accounts can be suspended, on occasion, if certain checks are triggered (and we won’t ever know what they are) but that’s different from a closure. What happens after that depends on the results of an external investigation by the appropriate law enforcement agency (to the best of my knowledge) and is nothing to do with the bank itself. So, if an account is closed after this happens, it’s being closed on instruction under the law and not (effectively) by Monzo.

Not sure this will stay open without flag resolution but we’ll see. Previous history suggests not.

Another one that is definitely innocent and Monzo are the big bad wolf.
I hope you replied to him with the article.

I love it when people are grown up enough to lampoon their alter-ego’s.
We do need to find out who “John Philips” is…

I’m actually concerned too.

Don’t worry. Just use your account as normal as you will be fine. It is not worth stressing about something that won’t happen to you.
Then go to another bank which also follows exactly the same regulations. Those banks just don’t have the demographics to have faux outrage about it on Facebook.

I decided to have a quick search for other Facebook groups:
Natwest have over 5.3k members: As the number of NatWest victims is growing everyday, we decided to create space where we can share our stories, solutions and advice.
Then Revolut:
And then I got bored… I guess the point I’m trying to make is that you can find anything you want to fit your narrative on the internet. Anyone can publish content so it doesn’t automatically make it true

Well I find that hard to believe. So all millions of people with HSBC accounts are just too illiterate to create a Facebook group?

Both have way less members than Monzo’s. Something to consider.
That’s not what he said. You can believe all the made up stories if you want, just don’t expect everyone else to.
