  • I don't use my Barclays account so I have no reason to keep it open.

    The letter says they don't hold certain information regarding my citizenship and tax status, which seems to be their problem, not mine, since I wouldn't have been able to open an account without providing it in the first place.

    What does FATCA mean for me if I am not a
    US Person or tax resident of Guernsey, Jersey,
    the Isle of Man or Gibraltar?

    For most customers, FATCA will have minimal impact and
    there will be no action required. However we may still need
    to contact you to confirm your status if we have reason to
    believe you are a reportable person for FATCA purposes.

    Call me someone who is always "randomly selected" but I'm keen to know the reason they have to believe I'm a reportable person.

    Depends when you opened the account. I provided nothing but a name and address to open my bank account, but then my opening deposit was £2.10/- :)
