ING drops porn bank accounts

[tickler]

Didn't Jim or somebody have this problem about a year ago with some US banks?

I guess those dutchies will have to find someplace else to hide their nasty money.

Financial services group ING has cancelled the accounts of a number of corporate clients who run pornography websites, the Telegraaf reports on Thursday.

The paper says the bank is worried about the damage to its reputation.

thats a trange message because i cant find it in our dutch news on the net anywhere, as long i know doesnt a dutch bank care where the money is from, i do know thewy care if there are transaction above the 15.000 euro, then every dutch bank as to transfer their info to the tax company, i am still looking for the info you just posted in the dutch news, porn is legal here they earn big time, prostitute is legal here, its not like the rules in us and other countries, so i dont believe in this news, i think its bullshit, i just forgot one thing in your post, you mentioned the Telegraaf, i have that on on my igoogle and i read it all day, i still cant find it there

haaaaaaaaa i found it ( very small background link on the telegraaf) all those costumers (dutch and foreigng bank clients) at the ing bank (they where there for years) are realy suing or how the hell you mention that the bank because yep, like i mentioned before, their porn bizz is legal in holland so ing bank as no point ing bank knew they earn money with porn since the day those companies join ing and they paid their tax and its legal, so i wonder what their point is and i wonder why i couldnt find the link.........lost case for ing, no worries, ing wont win and probably not important here, because i had to search my ass off for the message, alll fucking bullshit...all is by the rules...just some braindamage at the ing crew

Dont forget the banks have their shit here now too in holland, you dont wanna know how many banks are bugging the poeple to put their money on the bank again, the strangest news messages we get everyday, because yes the dutch paid the highest price in the world for gas, but we also pay the highest price in tax and what the dutch notice last years is that more people keep their money in their home instead of a bank accound, also it was mentioned some months ago that the dutch wouldnt have to fear for their money on bank accounds because of the USA morgage crisis....now gues what..last week the banks mentioned that they have indeed problems with the morgage crisis in USA and it hurt the dutchies...ofcourse because dutch banks also invest in foreign countires....so result every one is pulling their money from their bank accound and the morgae interest just got raise here in holland ( and that since years), so everyone is a bit of scared, i think ing started this shit because they are loosing customers....which isnt mentioned on the net everywhere....we shall see where this end

That's a silly move from ING, they also have a lot of branches here in Belgium. I guess they don't like making money.
