Top U.S. banks dropped customers over political views, regulator says

Original: Top U.S. banks dropped customers over political and religious views, regulator says

A U.S. regulator says some of the country's largest banks closed customer accounts because of clients' political or religious views, a practice often described as debanking. The claim has reignited debate in Washington over whether financial institutions are politicizing access to basic banking services, and over proposed measures to stop lenders from cutting off customers for ideological reasons.

Why now: New allegations from a regulator that major banks politicized access to banking have sparked fresh debate over debanking rules.
