Sure, but refusing to do business with someone is legal in most cases.

Consumer protection law has all kinds of anti-retaliation protection. Banks also want to know if unsavoury behaviour is being suppressed.

Consumer protection law has all kinds of anti-retaliation protection. Banks also want to know if unsavoury behaviour is being suppressed. Nobody must do business with anyone else. But banning someone after they exercise a consumer right in respect of potential fraud you facilitated (and profited off) is not something you want scrutinised.
