Urgent need for new accounts due to debanking by a major legacy bank
Background
A Channel Island trust company approached Interpolitan Money after being told that their trust was being debanked by a major legacy bank. The trust required immediate replacement accounts to continue managing its financial operations without interruption.
Challenge
The trust needed two accounts:

Given the complexity of the trust’s financial structure and the nature of the transactions, enhanced due diligence was required.

Outcome
By providing the necessary accounts, Interpolitan enabled the trust to seamlessly manage its property sale proceeds and beneficiary loan repayments. Our efficient onboarding process and expertise in complex financial structures ensured that the trust continued its operations without disruption, even after being debanked by its legacy bank.
