I have a spent conviction for a financial crime. The conviction was in March 2015 and became spent in March 2020
My bank of 25 years closed my current account when I was convicted, but I was fortunate enough to get a current account with Barclays - who I have been with for the past 6 years without incident. I have even been elevated to "Premier Account" since 2017!
In 2018 I set up a small company for my business which has done ok - nothing stellar but enough to make a living, The new company came with a Business Bank Account with Tide - which operated fine. But in early 2019 the bank decided to close the account - no reason given. I moved to Revolut which has been fine - until today - when they said they were closing my account - again, no reason given.
I am now really worried - it is clear that I am blacklisted (CIFAS?) and have no idea where to turn. I am scared to go to Barclays to ask for a business account as it might trigger them to think again about providing a current account - and without a current account I am truly stuffed
Any advice or thoughts greatly received - really getting quite desperate!
