Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach’s warning to Bank of America, alongside 14 other Republican attorneys general, reflects growing concerns about the potential discriminatory practices of the banking giant.
Kobach emphasized that the letter serves as a clear message to Bank of America that they are being closely watched, and further action will be taken if necessary.
According to Kobach, Bank of America’s debanking practices extend beyond religious organizations to include entities such as gun manufacturers and companies in the fossil fuel industry.

The attorneys general criticized the bank for potentially denying access to its services based on customers’ religious or political views, an accusation Bank of America denies, citing compliance with applicable laws.
Despite Bank of America’s response, Kobach remains steadfast in his assertion that consumer protection statutes may cover the alleged discriminatory activity, particularly toward organizations deemed “non-politically correct.”
With 15 states involved, representing a specific portion of the country, Kobach stressed the seriousness of the matter and the need for Bank of America’s attention.

Moving forward, Kobach and his Republican counterparts pledge to closely monitor the situation and take further action if deemed necessary.
The joint effort underscores the attorneys general’s commitment to holding financial institutions accountable for their actions and ensuring fair treatment for all customers, regardless of their religious or political affiliations.
