Access to financial services

Millions of EU citizens do not have access to a basic bank account, a form of financial exclusion which increases their risk of social exclusion and poverty. Prevention and elimination of over-indebtedness and financial exclusion are major elements in the fight against social exclusion and poverty.

If anybody reads these , ever !!!

I want to protest strongly against the British business policy in housing and the associations of every street and their lawyers. The whole policy sucks in many areas but just a sample ... When an EU citizen is looking for a flat to rent in UK , They DEMAND from EU citizens to make money transfers and don't accept cash or bank account checques.

They also demand a certain money transfer firm.

well, I am sorry to disagree with you VVendettaz.

Plenty of people have trouble opening a bank account in the UK, because of pseudo money laundering laws.

I don't look like an international gangster. Things seem a bit easier now than it was 6 years ago(i was check, my bank account in France(i am French)was checked, loads of proofs of address and tough when you just arrived in the country.

The UK has a real problem and I am surprised that there are no more than 2millions without a bank account.

I have acc in UK and banking there is real pain I have to admit. They should something about it - liberalize market, provide more services, get more IT stuff etc.

circa 0.56 The MicroFinance Centre, so much paper work! I think all EU videos should have a policy of not making it look like they are buried in paper work! Bureacracy is a necessary evil but lets not show its ugly side!

[VVendettaz]

What they really means is get a bank account and become part of the system. They will use the fear of stigma/exclusion to force people in to signing up to the system

However in the UK any foreigner can open up a bank account and gain credit cards within immeditaely because no background checks are made.

The 2 million people they mention who dont have accounts are indigenous brits who are checkable, have histories etc But they are deemed non credit worthy.

When you are an British citizen you are automatically an European citizen too. Deal with it!
