Looking through the various terms and conditions, one of the things you have to agree to is that you won't cause offence or behave improperly in any setting, including in a private place, not just while using their product or communicating with their staff.

From the Yorkshire Building Society terms and conditions:
"Closure without notice
We can close your account immediately if any of the following apply: a) The relationship between you and us has irretrievably broken down, for example, you have used threatening or abusive language to our staff.
We are a diverse and inclusive organisation and are hugely proud that this is reflected in our membership, so we’re committed to ensuring that everyone is treated with respect.

Should you sue for discrimination (assuming you can find the money to pay for it from elsewhere), the bank will ask to have the proceedings done in private to tell the judge why they banned you (for fraud) and ensure you can't hear that because by law, you the former customer can not find out why you've been banned by a bank or building society.
This is how much power the banks and building societies have.
