The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) reviewed nine banks, finding discriminatory practices against customers based on political or religious views. JPMorgan Chase's subsidiary WePay closed accounts linked to conservative merchandise and organizations. JPMorgan shut down WePay and denied altering records for political reasons. Other banks like PNC and Capital One also faced allegations of discrimination. The OCC plans to assess regulatory changes to prevent such practices.

The OCC found that nine major banks used subjective reputation policies, impacting lawful businesses, including digital assets. The report, based on extensive data, supports crypto industry claims of debanking but does not prove a coordinated government campaign. Banks reviewed include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citibank.
