Santander are closing my business account

After 6 yrs Santander  are closing my business  account for no reason and they don't have to give me one as its in their  Ts and Cs. Only reason i can see is the reduced turnover in the last year. Its a bit strange as I have a bounce back loan with them which the repayment  comes out of the account!!
Any body have similar experience?

  • i've started another thread, similar topic:

    Santander asked me to "Update Sole Trader Details", they want, Tax Number & Last Years Turnover & Next Years Turnover.

    If I don't give Santander the info within 30days they will restrict usage of my bank account, so they say!!

    Fortunately, I have an alternative bank account I could use, but I could do without the hassle!!

    Those sound like reasonable pieces of information for a bank to want to know about a business account - could you not supply them?
