Hmmn...
The laughter did not last. Just over a fortnight later, Farage released a 40-page dossier obtained from Coutts via a subject access request, which allows account holders to demand to see information held about them. In it, the bank’s staff said that while Farage was “professional in his dealing with us”, he was seen at worst by the public as “xenophobic and racist” and was “considered by many to be a disingenuous grifter”. Although there was “clearly a risk of negative publicity” in getting rid of him as a customer, Coutts concluded that his views “were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation”. The bank put him on “a glide path to exiting”.

The meno wasn't leaked, he did a date request and they supplied it
This was commentators jumping to conclusions, he was told he was let go for commercial reasons, the CEO confirmed at the dinner he was let go for commercial reason's as farage had already put that out there. The memo confirms the decision to close his account was due to commercial reasons. Commentators incorrectly assumed the commercial reason related to him not having sufficient money.
At no point was he debanked as he was offered alternative options within the group.
