What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency examined 100,000 complaints concerning nine of the nation’s largest banks. The review found that federal pressure led banks to cut off customers due to 'reputational risk,' political, or religious views. Banks reportedly used Southern Poverty Law Center lists and restricted financing for sectors including firearms, oil and gas, and crypto businesses. Jonathan Gould, Comptroller of the Currency, stated that banks denied services based on beliefs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The findings confirm a pattern where ideological targeting affects lawful businesses, raising regulatory risk for financial institutions. The use of these lists and the trend of de-risking could increase compliance burdens and restrict access to credit for certain sectors.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is currently involved in regulatory scrutiny following the presentation of findings by Jonathan Gould.
