    when I asked for an explaination, they wouldn't give a reason, very strange.
    The account must be at least 20 years old.
    Anyone else come across this?
    I've had my HSBC accounts closed twice by them - most recently this summer. They appear to be stricter about how the account is operated than do 'other' banks [by which I mean every other bank except First Direct - which has the same parent]

    .....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam
  • yes they gave a date for february, although I removed the money next day
