This isn’t the first time doing this - at the start of the pandemic they also closed the accounts of travel and hospitality businesses en masse. They tried to win us back once the vaccine was out and business was booming but we’d lost any trust in their reliability by then.

Insurance companies are supposed to increase the price t relative to the risk. So if you’re paying double the premium than someone else for car insurance, it’s because they have some data to suggest that you’re twice as, “risky.”

In the US, at least, you actually need to to get pre-approval for your prices and how you arrive at that price, and that information becomes public record.

It could be some sort of fingerprinting technique.
