Ensure sex workers are not excluded from banking services

The Government should review current laws to ensure that people who work in the sex industry can access banking services.UK Government petition by Rebecca Webster.

They are often refused bank accounts because of the nature of their jobs, even though it is completely legal and they pay tax. Sex workers also struggle with loans, mortgages etc.

I work in the sex industry and have been refused for 15 bank accounts because of the nature of my job even though it is completely legal and I am registered with HMRC. People should not be discriminated against because they work in the sex industry.

It started really innocent I had a customer service message from revolut on my app saying they need to understand my income better they we’re asking for specific transactions on the account what they are. Next day my account had been limited and even though I’ve complied with all their requests and answered their questions 3 weeks later they terminated my account. Saying after carefully reviewing all data they come to the conclusion to close my account with immediate effect and I should nominate another bank account to transfer the funds to.

Well I gave them my personal account with starling bank and it was sent there two weeks later.


It’s such a nightmare. You feel like a second or third class citizen and it’s not right my job is legal I work for my money and I pay tax and ni for it. When you think it’s easy to open another account somewhere else think again. So far 11 applications have been turned down by other banks to open a new business account it’s really disgraceful.
