Can you explain why mine is still open at Natwest then? They are well aware that I don't have a UK residence and send any papers to my Spanish address. 

You should be asking Nat West not me !!!

All Banks are by law are not allowed to have non uk residents operating a UK Bank Account without a UK address they will all close these Bank Accounts eventually watch this space !

I don't care how long you worked in banking, you're wrong.

It's about individual bank policies and and bi-lateral arrangements with various countries, that's why for instance Lloyd's closed accounts held by Brits in France but not Spain.

If as you claim it's UK law please provide an authoritative link to it.
