Is Barclays the most Arrogant Bank in The World ?


"Barclays closed down my bank account after Bitcoin trade"


Barclays closed down student’s account after his dealings in Bitcoin, the digital currency

Charles Bartlett, a 17-year-old student and aspiring entrepreneur, is still waiting for an explanation after being “sacked” by his bank earlier this year.

Unfortunately, his is not an isolated case. A small number of people, estimated to be in the low thousands each year, are told that their bank has made a “commercial decision” to close their account.

Banks tend to offer no explanation and customers who ask for one are brushed off and told to take their grievance to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

Even then, banks do not always justify their actions and Mr Bartlett is unlikely ever to find out why he became one of the youngest people in Britain to be told by his bank, Barclays, to take his business elsewhere.

However, he suspects that his buying and selling of “Bitcoin”, the controversial digital currency, is behind the bank’s decision.

Bloomberg terminals were struck by a worldwide outage Friday morning in a breakdown that caused deals to canceled or postponed and forced traders back to the telephones and email.
The outage, the cause of which Bloomberg has not yet revealed, caused disruption to traders who rely on the machines to analyze and trade securities, and to communicate with counterparties and investors.

the stupid woman for the greens is not on this planet a total idiot
she wants the uk to be a world nhs give all our money to help the rest of the world . she is in sane .

as for the welsh woman she is just a simpleton a clown on another planet
