Alison Rose, boss of NatWest, said in a statement late Tuesday: “I made a serious error of judgment in discussing Mr Farage’s relationship with the bank.” Last month, Nigel Farage, now a TV host for GB News known for his Brexit campaigning and friendship with Donald Trump, revealed he had been dropped as a customer by a major UK bank. The lender was later revealed in UK media to be Coutts, a bank for the rich owned by NatWest.
Farage subsequently obtained a copy of the bank’s report into why his accounts were closed, which appeared to confirm that his political views had played a role in the decision. On Tuesday night, Alison Rose confirmed she had been the source for the BBC report and apologized. She said: “Put simply, I was wrong to respond to any question raised by the BBC about this case. I want to extend my sincere apologies to Mr Farage for the personal hurt this has caused him and I have written to him today.
