Press Release: US Bank Debanks Constitution Party of Idaho

U.S. Bank has debanked the Constitution Party of Idaho
March 22, 2024 — The Chairman of the Constitution Party of Idaho (CP-Idaho) received by mail the balance of the party’s funds in the account held with U.S. Bank since 2006, along with a short account closure letter which read,
US BANK — ACCOUNT CLOSURE
Reference number xxxxxx
Dear Constitution Party of Idaho,
AdvertisementEnclosed is an official check in the amount of $xxxxxxx for the balance of the above referenced account.
Sincerely,
Retail Quality Assurance – Account Review
AdvertisementCheck number xxxxxx
This account has always been in good standing with no overdrafts, no fees, and no complications of any kind. The party had just received a statement the week prior, showing the correct balance and no concerns.
U.S. Bank customer service and local employees were confused, as there were no notes on the account and nothing that would indicate a reason for the closure.
A local branch employee who looked into the issue could say only,
“Yes, the bank just decided to stop doing business with you.”
She could not give any further clarification other than the Constitution Party of Idaho account is closed and is not permitted to open a new account.
With an election cycle just beginning, CP-Idaho has two conventions to host, thousands of letters to send to members, and venues to be secured for events. The need for a bank account is obvious and imperative.
Many banks, especially those in rural areas of Idaho, do not allow accounts to be set up for political parties or political organizations. CP-Idaho must now scramble to find a solution.
Has the Constitution Party of Idaho become such a threat that financial institutions are receiving pressure to try to shut us down?

Looks like US Bank has decided to be an active communist sympathizer in Idaho. Bad Move!
Lots of Woke going Broke going around, yes. Hopefully, another bank steps up and takes their account.
Possibly “Old Glory Bank” is the answer?
The dumbed down Tv watchers do not care. They reelect the incumbents that steal their income.bankrupted them and destroyed our liberties and freedoms
This needs to be shared far and wide! Another step to tyranny for sure. This is not the end of this story. Sunlight will extinguish the evil of this act.
I went to U.S. Bank once to exchange $20 bills for $100 bills, and they wanted to CHARGE me for the privilege since I wasn’t a customer.
There are better banks, and even better credit unions. U.S. Bank can go pound sand! Bud Lite ’em!
Wow! Totally unacceptable. My wife will likely close her accounts with US Bank, today.
I hope you follow through!
US Bank is very “woke”. Just check out their website. Woke is king at US Bank Corporate. They need a lesson in the consequences of wokeness in the conservative states where they mostly do business. They have forgotten who their customer base is.
Find a local bank that will attend to their needs. Using anything corporate any more will have consequences. These companies no longer understand that they get paid to provide a service. Now, in their arrogance, they demand that we pay them and do as they say. I can’t be the only one that sees this. Stop paying them and they no longer exist.
Go see the Matt and the crew at Farmers Bank, Shoshone street Twin Falls.
fallout after aryan knights jail break maybe. too bad all the low T rinos in dc only fight for the donor class
More unfair treatment from the ruling “elites” (children of the devil – John 8:44). That letter was a disgrace. They didn’t even have the decency to give a reason to a group that were faithful patrons for close to 20 years, all because they don’t agree with their politics. How un American is “US Bank”. Hopefully this creates a national boycott and they lose lots of money. They deserve it. Anyone who reads this please pull your money out of this bank.
US Bank has the US Treasury Department accounts.
US bank can just leave Idaho
