Banking giant HSBC has been accused of “shamelessly profiling” its customers after it closed bank accounts belonging to Syrian refugees and students in the UK.

The banks continue to do themselves and their customers no favours...

What has this got to do with bitcoin? Though it has been discussed already somewhere. Maybe economy or politics subforum.

There's two threads there about HSBC shutting down accounts to Muslims and embasies, but not directly releated to Syrian refugees.

I guess bitcoin would provide safety for these people though.
