Top US banking regulator says big banks rejected customers over politics

Original: Top regulator says big banks rejected customers over politics

The nation's top banking regulator says major banks turned away customers because of their political views, a claim set to intensify the ongoing debate over 'debanking' in the United States. Conservative figures have long accused large financial institutions of cutting off services for political reasons, and the regulator's comments add official weight to those allegations. Critics and the banking industry are likely to push back sharply.

Why now: The allegation comes from the top banking regulator, lending official weight to the politically charged 'debanking' controversy in the US.
