It further stated that, \u201cBank regulators have used supervisory scrutiny and other influence over regulated banks to direct or otherwise encourage politicized or unlawful debanking activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The order states that the policy of the United States is that \u201cno American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations, or political views, and to ensure that politicized or unlawful debanking is not used as a tool to inhibit such beliefs, affiliations, or political views.\u00a0 Banking decisions must instead be made on the basis of individualized, objective, and risk-based analyses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It requires within 180 days that financial regulators remove the use of reputational risk or equivalent concepts that could result in debanking from their guidance documents, manuals, and other materials used to regulate and examine financial institutions. It further directs federal banking regulators to consider rescinding or amending existing regulations that could result in politicized or unlawful debanking.<\/p>\n<p>It further requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to notify financial institutions it does business with of the requirements of the order and those financial institutions must identify and reinstate clients previously denied services due to politicized or unlawful debanking. It also requires the Treasury Secretary to develop a comprehensive plan to combat politicized or unlawful unbanking. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;] On August 7th, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at combating debanking of individuals or businesses for political or ideological reasons.
