US EditionTrump set to sign executive order going after ‘debanking’
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to punish banks for restricting services based on political or religious beliefs and formalize debanking protections.
- The order addresses allegations made by Trump and conservative organizations that certain major financial institutions have engaged in politically motivated discrimination, though these banks reject the claims and maintain that their actions are driven by regulatory compliance.
- The order directs regulators to remove 'reputational risk' language from banking guidance, review policies seen as encouraging politicized debanking, and instructs the SEC to ease 401 investment rules for alternative assets including private equity and cryptocurrency.
- The CEO of Bank of America expressed support for Trump’s focus on regulatory matters, stating the president is addressing a key issue, while a company representative chose not to comment on the allegations regarding Trump's debanking claims but acknowledged the need for changes in regulation.
- The executive order could lead to investigations and fines for banks, unlock trillions in 401 retirement savings for private equity, and signal continued political battles over banking practices and regulatory oversight.
