6.4. Where we submit a SAR to the National Crime Agency, we are subject to the "tipping off" prohibition under section 333A of POCA 2002. In such circumstances, we are legally prohibited from informing you that a SAR has been filed, the reasons for any associated account restriction, or the content of any regulatory communication.
