They have done so due to the impending FATCA rules which threaten their own financial planning continuity, cutting off access to channels of advice and financial management. The reporting restrictions to the American taxman – the IRS – that FATCA places on all non-US companies dealing with US clients are now deemed far too complex and costly for large institutions to comply with.”
