UK Resident to non-UK Resident

Strange that they are immigration laws rather than Anti Money Laundering laws that require this

I’m guessing they are referring to this:

UK banks to check 70m bank accounts in search for illegal immigrants

Guardian article on above and email from Barclays today. I read somewhere Monzo planned to offer accounts to people who were not able to get one with high street banks but this might though that plan into bit of trouble I think. Not sure where Britain is going with all this tbh.

The regulations themselves do of course not demand UK addresses, but I guess Monzo’s implementation does.
