UK banks to check 70m bank accounts in search for illegal immigrants

Exclusive: From January banks will be enrolled in Theresa May’s plans to create ‘hostile environment’ for illegal migrants. Banks and building societies are to carry out immigration checks on 70m current accounts from January in the biggest extension of Theresa May’s plans to create a “hostile environment” for illegal immigrants in Britain, the Guardian has learned.

The Home Office expects to identify 6,000 visa overstayers, failed asylum seekers and foreign national offenders facing deportation in the first year of the checks, which are to be carried out quarterly.

The accounts of those identified will be closed down or frozen “to make it harder for them to establish or maintain a settled life in the UK”. Officials say freezing accounts that hold significant sums “will create a powerful incentive [for those involved] to agree to voluntary departure” so they can secure their money once they have left the country.

Immigration welfare campaigners warned that the Home Office’s recent record meant it could not be trusted to implement this new system without errors and that migrants with every right to be in Britain were likely to be hit by mistakes in the imposition of the checks.

Satbir Singh, the chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, criticised the move: “The government’s own record shows it cannot be trusted even to implement this system properly. Immigration status is very complex, and the Home Office consistently gives out incorrect information and guidance.

“Migrants and ethnic minorities with every right to be here will be affected by the imposition of these new checks.”.

Banks have been told to adopt a default position of telling customers to take up the matter with the Home Office if a mistake has been made, even if they provide a passport or biometric residence permit showing they are lawfully present in Britain.

The Guardian confirmed with the Home Office the January implementation date for the bank checks after being alerted by a reader who is a European national resident in Britain. Her husband spotted a reference to “changes to how we check your eligibility to bank with us based on your immigration status” in an email from Barclays detailing their latest changes in their banking terms of conditions.

Dominique Welbank said: “As a French national having lived here since 1991, and having been denied permanent residence because I do not have comprehensive sickness insurance, I have no confidence the Home Office will not extend this scheme to EU citizens like myself because of Brexit.”

Status checks are required by anyone opening a new bank or building society account under the Immigration Act 2014, but no measure has previously required checks on the scale of every current account in Britain.

The new legislation requires the banks to check the identity of every current account holder against a Home Office supplied database held by an anti-fraud organisation, Cifas. It includes details of those whom the Home Office regard as liable for removal or deportation because they are overstayers, failed asylum seekers or those who have absconded from immigration detention.

Safeguards are included to prevent the closure of a bank account which would leave the account holder without the subsistence means to live. Account closure can also be delayed to recover debts or deal with complex joint accounts.

An official Home Office impact assessment acknowledged “the proposed measures may have the potential to impact on the appetite of firms to offer banking services to legal migrants who do not have permanent leave to remain in the UK” and promises to monitor the situation. Officials add that the banking laws ban discrimination against legally resident customers.

The January implementation of the quarterly checks on the current accounts operated by every bank and building society in Britain are part of Immigration Act 2016 measures to create a hostile environment for illegal migrants. Other measures include “right to rent” checks with heavy fines for landlords who let homes to illegal migrants, checks on driving licences and tougher measures against illegal working.

An official Home Office impact assessment acknowledges that rather than encouraging illegal migrants to go home it could simply drive them even further into the “hidden economy”, but says this will not be a significant issue because they are already breaking the law.

“This policy is not expected to exacerbate the situation but to contribute to the hostile environment, encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the UK on a voluntary basis,” it says.

Banks have also been told there is no requirement on them to contact account holders or require additional documentary evidence as part of the check.

A Home Office spokesperson defended the introduction of the checks saying: “We are developing an immigration system which is fair to people who are here legally, but firm with those who break the rules. Everyone in society can play their part in tackling illegal migration.

“As approved by parliament in December 2016, from January banks and building societies will be required to carry out regular checks on the immigration status of all current account holders against the details of known illegal migrants to establish whether their customers are known to be in the UK unlawfully. This is part of our ongoing work to tackle illegal migration. People who are here legally will be unaffected.”

A Barclays spokesperson said the bank was simply complying with the Immigration Act 2016 and the checks impacted on all customers regardless of nationality.

seek counselling first ..........both of you with her pastors ....call family meeting ..........if that doesn't work
best option is to part ways for some time and if children are involved .........come to an arrangement on how to see them and be part of their lives too.

It is better to break your own heart by leaving an abusive relationship, ...............................rather than having that person breaking your heart every day.

dont let your story be ...she put you through hell......and you called it love.....because you failed to see something is bad ...or got out too late ..... ,,,,,until it completely destroyed you....

she will turn you into a woman beater .......if you dont take a break from her.....separation for a while doesn't mean you stopped loving each other....it is just time to reflect and understand the depth of your love .....she might change , seek help or continue like that .

marriage and children doesn't mean you are inseparable .....your happiness is a great gift to your children.

Red Giant Phase:
In 5.4 billion years from now, the Sun will enter what is known as the Red Giant phase of its evolution. This will begin once all hydrogen is exhausted in the core and the inert helium ash that has built up there becomes unstable and collapses under its own weight. This will cause the core to heat up and get denser, causing the Sun to grow in size.

It is calculated that the expanding Sun will grow large enough to encompass the orbit’s of Mercury, Venus, and maybe even Earth. Even if the Earth were to survive being consumed, its new proximity to the the intense heat of this red sun would scorch our planet and make it completely impossible for life to survive. However, astronomers have noted that as the Sun expands, the orbit of the planet’s is likely to change as well.

When the Sun reaches this late stage in its stellar evolution, it will lose a tremendous amount of mass through powerful stellar winds. Basically, as it grows, it loses mass, causing the planets to spiral outwards. So the question is, will the expanding Sun overtake the planets spiraling outwards, or will Earth (and maybe even Venus) escape its grasp?

The unusual phenomenon has been seen across the country, starting in the west of the country before sweeping across to the Capital.

Many posted pictures of the bizarre sighting on social media, wondering if it is a sign of the oncoming storm.

Some areas have been forced to turn on street lights in the middle of the day as the dust partially blocked out the sun.
The strange red tint was in the air, and the sun glowed an angry red.

The unseasonably warm breeze smelled like bonfires as it blew across the country.

Some even said they could smell sulphur.

Sharon Derrick shared a video of the sun over Bristol and said: "Bristol looks like the film The Red Planet... the weather is bizarre."

One woman wrote on Instagram: "It looks like the apocalypse is coming! Anyone else seen the amazing red sun due to the dust storm from the Azores? That combined with the really warm, strong winds, make it feel very eerie outside today! Keep safe everyone".

Desyner:
He wants to keep his N30B all alone to himself.

no mind him ... na this case the police and others ,,,,go take cut their own own share.from the N30B....It is a big shame the guy lost his life...

fraud ....fraud..fraud everywhere...God help Nigeria ... I pity the next generation ....I wonder what will be left when they have finished all the money and whole world no longer rely on petroleum....no investment ......no good hospitals...... no good roads.... no electricity.....this is gross///

you are always responsible for how you act .......no matter how you feel.........so is this reason they called Osinbajo coordinator................./

Why is EFCC quiet

There are children in the church watching.....The pastor need to visit hospital to pray for sick people .....

I do believe God is real and he is not the author of confusion.

why is the EFCC quiet

not bad at all..may be she want Davido to notice what he is missing

Lesson to all others threatening people at gun point to steal ........
The sentence seems harsh ............ but what if he had killed the Person in panic or in an attempt to force them to part with their belongings.
Where did he get the gun from ......He could have used it for other crimes..........

this same punishment should be given to our politician ............who have caused the death of so many young people including the hoodlums ....by giving them money to campaign for election and killing themselves .....they should be held accountable for those deaths .

and to all those politicians that stole billions and deprive innocent Nigerians of good lives .................this is one of the results.......

I thought he is married ...has a wife.... is iot not better to do it with her ...or may be the wife is denying him .

am sure some girls will be willing to give it to him freely in Ghana....

na waa oo ... i no fir laugh

True talk ....When they start hammering on tithes and offerings , sometimes they make you feel that God is a magician.

For example if I give 10k in tithes ... I should expect 100k in return ...... ......and then get frustrated if I didn't received anything.



God can bless people in other ways not just moneys .,..such as great ideas ...... Good knowledge of investing.. Donald Trump..... that will make you a billionaire * Bill gates*....... send people your way that will lead you to your open doors.......... open doors in area of a small job ... and from there is where you will be elevated... *jack ma Ali baba founder *started as a small business and now a billionaire* ........ sometimes blessings comes in stages , not all at once....

It is not just Christians that God blesses .... Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. Rom 9>18.. God’s electing love is one of the most challenging realities in the Bible.

"The government muddled up a speech that should be about matters of national importance with personal reminiscences of being a young officer. This romantic lamentation does not have a place in this speech."


Oh God!

I no trust any of them
none of them lol

Truth hurts sha......When your President went abroad to get medical treatment......he must have seen how the health system function there, what makes it work and why he trusted to use it......... he came back ..... and his no 1 priority was not to fix the health system in his country.....but still prefer to go abroad for treatment....

because of d crack in ya ceiling... every time u are cold ..u ran go ya neighbours house...an refuse to fix ya ceiling...... ....an wen ya insult you you get angry......one day dat ceiling will fall on ya head and kill you...na una sabi

"The lady who is married has a boyfriend on the side"

Stupid guy .....he has made enough off her........and ... why was she cheating on her hubby

Too many people take advantage of the trust they are given .................one sin beget another.....cheating on her hubby is easy ...but the consequences are bad..,,, now she is cheating herself out of her marriage,,,

A cheater and a blackmailer ...they deserve each other.......mtchews

They both need to see a good Professional divorce Counsellor or therapist,,...

Divorce is the death of a dream you though was going to last....sometimes all you have to do is just move on..,,, but never forget what it taught..

She might claim to be a lesbian to stop them deporting her to Nigeria ...............knowing that same sex marriage is not allowed here and they might grant asylum .

I don't blame her o ... everybody is looking for ways to survive na..... not everyone get rich relatives or able to get 3 square meal a day for Nija...,,,

Even the President and rich ones run go abroad just for treatment and send their children to live and school abroad na * rich ones sef no trust Nija*.....No jobs...they will be telling you to stay that the land is green,,,,but when you ask them to give u 20k ...they will tell u times are hard...... you are d only one that knows where the shoe hurts you most....

my worry is if chose to be in exile,,,,, they might find him and kill him and then........hide it from people for so many years....... they will keep saying ... he ran away till everybody forget about it..................



but if he is alive .. he should come out of hiding ... so that he can be protected and the public see justice done to him the right way....

Pictures are not clear.....Why is she still wearing white?,.....is she no longer free again....seems she is still obeying part of the tradition and deity requirement from when she was the the olori .... is she scared something will happen if stop wearing white and covering her hair............I know that white signifies purity to the gods....umm na waa o


but congrats to her.

leaders sponsoring different groups to destabilise the country and make things difficult for their opponents ..... is not new in Nigeria politics.

so Fulani herdsmen think Saraki is sponsoring Ipod group

They should tell us who is sponsoring them to kill other tribes and invade other people in their home town .... I think Saraki should challenge them..... Saraki and El rufai should have a meeting.

What a country .. so unfortunate

Oh no ...poor baby.....
Buhari went for ear infection treatment in London because he value his life..... .at the expense of Nigeria.. cos he did not trust our health service and the hospital in Aso rock.

When he came back.... he could not even build a low cost public funded hospital for the citizens to say thank you.....because he did not value their lives...

Why cant they just build just one top of the range ...outstanding hospital in Nigeria ... where people from abroad can also come to receive medical care....it is not as if Nigeria does not have the money .....but they are ready to spend billions on election.

so he left the lady and his baby for a long time.......came back and found her pregnant with another mans baby...then threaten to take his child away...when she refused ... he killed her.....
Jealousy and anger...just cos she moved on.....................does he think he owns the lady?.....he should rot in jail

Happy Birthday ma ...always looking good

That insult is too much na ..for some old enough to be his uncle
mixing bad words with bad mood is not the solution to the problems facing Nigeria...he should learn to limit his words ...
Words are free ....it's how you use them , that may cost you.

If ya friend and house help give your hubby better pere ... d man will go back begging for more oo
