Mr Tice, leader of Reform UK, hit out at “unfair” rules that restrict “politically exposed persons” (PEP) and their families from getting bank accounts.
He said: “For a bank to demand to see my mother’s will when a close relative tried to set up an account is outrageous.
“It brings back all the grief. It is insensitive. All PEP laws need to be scrapped. Woke corporate Britain’s gone mad.”
Mr Tice said one of his relatives — who we are not naming — had approached Aldemore Bank, but they demanded to see the will to confirm their money was from inheritance.

A spokesman for Aldermore said: “Aldermore does not take into account the nature of someone’s political views when deciding on their application for banking services.”
It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed a different financial institution, Swiss Re, debanked Mr Tice because of his political views.
