That's one way to get your account cancelled.
- gpderetta 5y agoI'm sure that cancelling accounts of people with "funny" spellings, will definitely not get the bank in trouble for (indirect) discrimination at all.
- gambiting 5y agoNot sure about Belgium specifically, but at least in UK the bank can't close your account without a valid court order. They can temporarily suspend it if they suspect you of some crime, but in general a normal checking account cannot be closed by the bank "just because". I'd expect it to work the same way in all of EU.
- fallingknife 5y agoThat's great! Should be the same in the US, and also apply to payment processors.
- DarkWiiPlayer 5y agoooof... didn't GDPR also have some strong opinions on retaliation though?
- silon42 5y agoOr in the future, getting international payments disabled (including most credit cards).
- PeterisP 5y agoSince banking account history has to be stored and provided for literal decades after account closure, they would still have to implement the changes even if that customer left, as they will still be processing his data and have to do it according to the law.
