FCA licensed securities brokerage needing EU bank account

[offshorefxfirm]

Hello,

Just as the title says, we have a UK FCA licensed brokerage that has been around for over 5 years by now. We have been having UK banks close our accounts because of changing "risk" appetites, leading to only having one account open. We are looking for at least one more UK or EU bank that would support our business. We are not looking for segregated funds accounts, we are just looking for an additional operational account. Any pointers or assistance is appreciated. EMIs are not accepted.

Best regards

You can also try BFC Bank and also LHV Bank in UK. But de-risking by banks is a big problem in general across many business types these days.

Being FCA regulated definitely helps but if majority company of management don't all reside in UK then very little chance with banks these days.

CIM and Frick both said no, but will try Dukascopy
