I know the purpose of the money laundering regulations, but should they not be applied with a modicum of common sense.

HSBC did this. It cost them one thousand nine hundred million dollars in fines.

I'll say it again, they were fined nearly two billion dollars for not applying the rules with iron consistency.

They did not set out to launder, or to facilitate laundering. They did not ignore their rules, they just applied them "with a modicum of common sense".

So no, banks aren't keen to do that any longer.

What are the chances of a BTL landlord based on the Costa Blanca being involved in anything iffy?

Just lend him the money!

They know precisely who I am, I am an existing customer. They carried out all of the checks three years ago.

Oh well that's alright then.
OK 3 years ago = OK today.

Next time i have to be DBS checked i'll just explain that there's no need as i was fine in 2003.
