Interpreting the Executive Order Targeting Politicized & Unlawful Debanking Webinar
October 22, 2025
Program Overview
On August 7, President Trump Issued Executive Order 14331 titled Guaranteeing Fair Banking For All Americans that states that “it is the policy of the United States that no American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations, or political views, and to ensure that politicized or unlawful debanking is not used as a tool to inhibit such beliefs, affiliations, or political views.”
The order gives the federal banking agencies 180 days to “remove the use of reputation risk or equivalent concepts that could result in politicized or unlawful debanking, as well as any other considerations that could be used to engage in such debanking,” from their guidance documents, manuals, and other regulatory materials. The order also directs the federal banking agencies to enforce the order’s stated policies by “levying fines, issuing consent decrees, or imposing other disciplinary measures against any financial institution” found to have engaged in “politicized or unlawful debanking that violates applicable law.”
During this webinar, learn how to prepare your institution for risks related to the current regulatory focus on debanking.
