The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said the disclosure had been 'unacceptable', but that it had decided no further regulatory action after Dame Alison Rose resigned over the matter.
NatWest bosses are already probing staff over messages sent about Mr FarageThe former chief executive of NatWest breached former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage's privacy rights by talking to a journalist about his relationship with Coutts bank, Britain's information watchdog has ruled.
A bombshell document revealed how staff also said they would 'pay' to be the person who told him he was not welcome to use the firm. 'We have been clear with the bank that these actions were unacceptable and should not happen again. However, in view of the fact the individual in question resigned her post and the bank has commissioned its own investigation, we do not intend to take any further regulatory action at this time.'
The ruling followed the bombshell conversations revealed by GB News, in which a bank staffer said: 'I'd throw a milkshake at him if I was approached to open an account for him .' Mr Farage lost his account at Coutts, whose clients include members of the Royal Family, after an internal report said his views did not align with the bank's values and he was 'transphobic'.
