Bet they don't investigate everyone that has an account with them.

next I suppose they will despatch health inspectors to any restaurants that use them for banking?

Today I contacted the Police Firearms Dept, for Staffs & West Mids. Spoke to F.A Police officer Brett Oakes, he said that
as far as they are concerned they don't mind the FAC copy being sent to Barclays.
The "Bank Compliance" is legal under banking regulations, and is to ensure that the Club account signatories, are officials of the club.

Here's what the NRA chap said. We can assure you that, we are all over this like a rash.
The NRA of Great Britain, Chief Executive contacted the Chief Executive of BARCLAYS BANK, and informed them that this practice
is not in the interests of safety.

if Barclays fail to remedy the situation, the NRA Chief Executive has also advised Barclays that:-

1. The NRA would advise all Clubs to move their Banking to another Bank.
2. The NRA would advise all individual members, if personally banking with Barclays, to change to another bank.
3. The NRA would advise individual members, who have business accounts with Barclays, to change to another bank.

that would amount to quite a few million accounts, both personal and business.

Finally, the NRA said, that to comply, we only need to supply a copy of the top page with no other information.
This would confirm the Secretary as one of the signatories. The NRA also advises that we personally visit our local
Branch of Barclays to Provide this copy of the top page, no emailing, no scanning, no photocopy, no post.

The person at Barclays who initiated this debacle, was [redacted], from Barclays Compliance team. We
should advise the local branch that we need confirmation that information has been received by said [redacted].
