What we are doing now is that we make sure through the agency Thomson Reuters, of that there is no link whatsoever between the organizations that we work with and between organizations are prohibited. We do not want to hurt our relief. We do our best in order to be neutral in our work as much as possible. "
On his part, a government official contacted by the BBC, believes that the bank's decision is not due to government action, but a decision made by the bank itself on the basis of his own analysis of the risks.
In December / December of 2012, the Bank was forced HSBC to pay 1.9 billion dollars to the U.S. authorities, in a settlement on the issue of money laundering, the largest settlement paid in such a case.
And then accused the bank of being involved in laundering money belonging to the drug cartels, and states fall under U.S. sanctions.
In August / August of last year for the transfer of bank HSBC, he asked more than 40 embassies and consulates and high commission in Britain to close their accounts.
At the time, the bank said: "We apply the program gradually to evaluate all of our business since May / May of 2011, and services to embassies is not an exception to that."
She stressed the Charity Commission of the British government, they do not conduct any investigations with organizations covered by the decision of the bank, but said that if he deprived these charitable organizations from Mali to open an account with any bank that would undermine the confidence of the public.
