Firm says closures continue despite lifting of sanctions after Iran nuclear deal and have risen since Trump’s inauguration
A UK law firm handling more than 60 complaints by Iranian nationals who have had their UK bank accounts closed allegedly because of their nationality has reported a surge in such closures since Donald Trump assumed office.
Iranian nationals living legally in the UK often have to go to extra lengths when opening a bank account and many who already with one have complained about their accounts being abruptly closed. Some banks refuse to explain why, while others cite sanctions against Iran as the main reason.
