WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he will sign an executive order this week aimed at penalizing banks he claims have discriminated against conservatives, including himself.

In an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Trump confirmed he would be signing the order and accused major banks—such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America—of “very badly” discriminating against him after the 2020 election.

“I‘ll give you me as an example,” Trump said. “I had hundreds of millions. I had many, many accounts loaded up with cash. I was loaded up with cash, and they told me, ’I’m sorry, sir, we can’t have you. You have 20 days to get out.'”

During his speech, Trump singled out JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.

He said he reminded JPMorgan of their decades-long relationship.

“I said, ‘You got to be kidding. I’ve been with you for 35–40 years.’ ... I didn’t know what to do with it.”

Bank of America also refused to do business with him, Trump said, forcing him to move his money to smaller banks.

“I went to another one, another one, another one, another one. I ended up going to small banks all over the place. I mean, I was putting 10 million here, 10 million there,” he said.

Trump said that the same treatment has been given to many conservatives, particularly his supporters.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on the upcoming executive order, stating that it will target banks involved in alleged discrimination against conservatives and crypto companies.

Trump alleged that his political opponents pressured banking regulators to target him, saying banks “are not afraid of anything but a regulator.”

He alleged that the previous administration instructed banking authorities to “do everything you can to destroy Trump, and that’s what they did.”

“We don’t close accounts for political reasons, and we agree with President Trump that regulatory change is desperately needed,” Patricia Wexler, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase, told The Epoch Times in a statement. “We commend the White House for addressing this issue and look forward to working with them to get this right.”

In a January statement, a Bank of America spokesperson told The Epoch Times: “We serve more than 70 million clients and we welcome conservatives. We are required to follow extensive government rules and regulations that sometimes result in decisions to exit client relationships. We never close accounts for political reasons and don’t have a political litmus test.”

The White House declined to comment on the timing and the details of the president’s executive order. For years, conservatives have accused banks of cutting off services for political or religious reasons.

It is not the first time Trump has raised the issue.

In January, soon after taking office, Trump castigated large banks for their alleged refusal to serve a number of conservative individuals and organizations during a speech he delivered by video link to attendees of the World Economic Forum annual summit in Davos, Switzerland.

“I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America,” Trump told Moynihan. “I don’t know if the regulators mandated that, because of Biden or what, but you and [Dimon] and everybody, I hope you open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong.”

Last year, an investor group led by fund manager David Bahnsen pressed JPMorgan Chase to take action against alleged political de-banking, following accusations that its subsidiary WePay had abruptly closed accounts and refused service in 2021 for a Defense of Liberty conference featuring Donald Trump Jr.

JPMorgan Chase subsequently reversed the decision by WePay.

Both Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase have repeatedly refuted charges of political bias.

In April 2024, 15 state attorneys general issued a letter to Bank of America alleging that the bank “appears to be conditioning access to its services on customers having the bank’s preferred religious or political views.”

The attorneys general charged that the bank employed ambiguous criteria to terminate banking relationships, such as reputational risk and allegations of promoting “intolerance” or “hate.”

“In the past, Bank of America has denied services to gun manufacturers, distributors, and sellers; fossil-fuel producers; contractors for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and private prisons and related services,” the attorneys general wrote. “It recently made headlines for cooperating with the FBI and U.S. Treasury to profile conservative and religious Americans as potential domestic terrorists.”

That same month, the state of Tennessee passed one of the first-ever laws prohibiting banks and insurance companies from political or religious discrimination against state residents.

Both Trump and his wife have said that they were refused banking services over the past several years, alleging that this was on political grounds.

Bank United in Florida closed Trump’s accounts in 2021, stating that “we no longer have any depository relationship with him.” Professional Bank, another Florida bank, also closed Trump’s accounts at the same time.

Signature Bank and Deutsche Bank in New York also ended their relationship with the president following the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Writing in her autobiography, “Melania,” the first lady stated that both she and their son, Barron, were denied banking services at this time.

“I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long-time bank decided to terminate my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” Melania Trump stated.

Citi drops firearms restriction in a bow to conservative pressure

The bank updated a 7-year-old policy, enacted after the Parkland school shooting, over concerns about “fair access” months after Republicans accused some institutions of political de-banking.

Citi has abandoned a 7-year-old policy restricting firearms sales by its retail clients, the bank said in a statement on its website Tuesday.

The move could be read as a bow to increasing pressure from conservative circles that have accused big U.S. banks of failing to serve clients whose political leanings fall right of center.
