Muslim charities still being debanked despite Farage furore

Muslim charities in the UK are still experiencing the closure of their bank accounts without explanation, despite the political backlash following Nigel Farage's debanking. A report from the Muslim Charities Forum (MCF) found that 68% of Muslim charities faced difficulties opening bank accounts, 42% experienced complete withdrawal of banking services, and 42% had significant challenges with transferring funds. These obstacles have delayed payments and damaged humanitarian work. The MCF report also highlighted real-life harms, including delayed payments to hospitals in conflict zones and eviction notices due to late payments. The report suggests that structural Islamophobia plays a role in the targeting of Muslim-led charities by banks.
