Something to do with money laundering and the general inability of UK banks to be customer-friendly....
Does someone on the board have a guilty looking face, or something? Why would they suspect a company with next-to-no turnover of money laundering?
Have you ever tried to get a bank account as someone not born in the UK? I have. Took me six months, and I only got it because I got a job with a company used to getting bank accounts opened for its employees ... which meant I could finally deposit the cheque from work I'd done in the meantime.
It's not much easier for companies.
Our new treasurer, Paul, is slowly and painfully working through the bureaucracy. I'm sure his forehead will feel much better when he gets to stop banging his head against it ...
