A letter from the bank

“’Your account with us has been brought to my attention to review, and it has been found that we will require additional information to ensure that we are able to continue managing your account.

“’Can you please confirm the source of funds… which have been deposited in your account? If these funds are work-related can you please confirm the nature of the work, who your employers are and if you anticipate this to continue? Can you please advise why the funds are paid to your international account, rather than being paid direct to your UK account.’”



“The excuse for the dispatch of the e-mail was that it was ‘to comply with legislation and as part of our drive to reduce fraud, identity theft and financial crime by maintaining accurate and secure records.’”

(Too, there are the letters noting “We at FYou Bank value the private information of our customers.” At that point, I know: (a) the bank has been hacked; (b) the bank is expanding the information it is selling to other financial organizations; or, (c) NSA or some other lettered bureaucracy has demanded every piece of information the bank has, and threatened to remove the last vestiges of banker’s cajones if the bank does not comply.)
