Hi All,
First post and new to the taxi industry.
So i'll keep it short. Got my Licence eventually after 5 months waiting, so went to ope a bank account in my local Ulster bank and they refused my application, stating the below.
We considered the information you provided to us, in addition to our standard checks and assessments.
We also reviewed the bank’s knowledge about the sector in which your business operates. If the Bank
has concerns over a sector’s future, or considers it could expose us to financial or reputational risk, we
may choose not to offer Banking facilities. Unfortunately, this is the case here and it is currently Bank
Policy not to extend support to businesses operating in your sector.
Anyone else have this problem???
TIA
