Shooting businesses likened to sex work in debanking scandal Businesses say they are treated 'like criminals' by big name banks and risk damage to their reputation​

15 different UK-operating banks are implicated in the claims, British legacy-conservative newspaper the Daily Telegraph reports. The paper notes gun clubs and shops are being treated like “sex workers” by banks apparently using any pretext to withdraw essential banking services from businesses that don’t meet their social standards.
“The problem here is banks discriminating against perfectly legal and respectable accounts that have been run for years on a proper basis and that actually damages people and businesses.”

Many businesses have come forward since the debanking scandal hit the headlines, including Mill Farm Clay Pigeon Club in East Sussex, which in January 2023 found themselves one of a number of Barclays customers who had their accounts closed without notice.

Glad it’s the UK and this could never happen here because we have the constitution…. Sarcasm abounds this statement.

Haven't we already seen this here with major banks and eCommerce platforms?

Morality policing. BS.

Private platforms can do as they please and some probably don’t want to bother with the legality of buying and selling of firearm goods in all states. I could truly imagine it is complex. NYS tried to get funding pulled from the NRA it I remember correctly so yes.
