Change the law regarding banks shutting down customers bank accounts

Petition Details

Recently bank accounts of prominent campaigners have been closed without reason. This should only be allowed if the bank gives a contestable reason & should only be done by a court. Not by the bank acting unilaterally. The government must act because without a bank account, you are limited.
