John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller. His accounts were closed as he faced substantial backlash for his work advising Trump around the time of the 2020 election.

I would do just that! And 100% let them know why!!!
I’ve got to reconsider. I have had a USAA account for approx 45 years.
I’m inclined to cancel it and let the CEO know why.
Same here...45+ years...Used to be the best...military only. Now anybody that can spell “USAA” is eligible for membership.
Don’t waste your time contacting the CEO. Never get to him. He’s some retired Gen/Admiral out playing golf at Ft Sam or Randolph.
my understanding SO FAR is Eastman was debanked BEFORE any convictions.
Presumption of innocence comes to mind, but we’re dealing with corporatists (being leaned on by federal regulators no doubt) here who don’t have to follow the letter or spirit of the law.
Know Your Client puts many of us in jeopardy.
Especially since Pedo Joe and the gang have declared MAGA associates to be enemies of the state and “democracy.”
In a flood zone?
My feeling is they got tired of being harassed by the FBLIE requesting all kinds of records. There is no prohibition of a felon having access to banking. So this is just political harassment. In effect he has banking sanctions on him the equal of Iran.
There are about half a million privacy laws they would be violating if they were to answer your question.
KYC doesn’t get you removed because you are charged with a crime. Once you become a highly visible person or a person connected to politics KYC requires more information from and about you by the bank etc… a lot of these deplatforming allegations have to do with customers not providing information requested to open or continue banking once they are in a position where KYC applies to them.
I don’t know this guys situation personally but I wouldn’t be surprised if he refused to or did not provide the KYC info requested.
My only question, “Is this report correct?” If so, I will express my strong objections and state my intention to look elsewhere for my insurance needs. USAA insures my two homes, two cars, liability and life insurance.
Same here.
Member here of USAA since 1963. Have been extremely displeased for some time with outrageous rate hikes, AND their reluctance to make good on perfectly legitimate claims. Will be shopping around.
"I’ll stick with my credit union."
That’s my suspicion and it’s a well-founded one based upon reports I’ve read of other institutions the FEDs have been putting pressure on.
I once quipped that the FBI only managed to squash the mob by becoming the mob and recent exposures of the tactics they use (up to and including FISA) against J6, Tea party, Conservatives of all stripes (but not leftists of any kind) tells me I was preternaturally aware.
According to the article, they didn’t tell Eastman. My guess would be they wouldn’t pass that information on to us either.
Concur, this is not good kind of stuff from them, they must have gone woke.
Corporations can only operate in a State with the State’s explicit permission, Not a SINGLE Red State has REVOKED ANY CORPORATE CHARTERS and put them out of business in their State.
The only problem with state farm is getting them to pay. Pray you never get in an accident. Geico is the best. I’ve been with them for over 30 years.
I have been with USAA since 1967. I need to take a closer look at the reasons for this. Something isn't right here.
BofA is a federally chartered bank.
Do you have an underground fuel tank or something?
The LAW is what we say it is now, remember, SHUT THEM DOWN then Criminally Prosecute them if they try to do business in the State after being closed down by the STATE.
