End bank intrusion into personal privacy under Anti-Money Laundering rules.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK government has implemented a series of anti-money laundering regulations aimed at financial crimes causing significant intrusion into the personal privacy of citizens. It's time to end banks' intrusion into personal privacy and to strike a balance between financial security & our rights.

Constant surveillance by banks creates an environment of distrust & fear. Individuals are made to feel like suspects in a criminals. The impact is felt by everyone, from small business owners to individuals, who are left to navigate a banking system that no longer respects privacy.

It is time for the UK government to reassess the impact of these anti-money laundering regulations. We cannot allow the fight against crime to erode the fundamental principles of a free and democratic society.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the intrusive nature of certain regulations intended to identify and prevent money laundering, but it's not clear if you want these regulations to be repealed, amended or reviewed.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. If you want certain regulations to be repealed or amended, you would need to be clear what regulations you wanted to be repealed, and what changes you wanted to be made.
