(Reuters) -JPMorgan Chase said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday that it was responding to requests from government authorities and other parties regarding the bank’s policies and processes related to fair access to banking to all Americans.
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in September issued new guidance aimed at discouraging banks from terminating customer accounts based on political or religious beliefs, following a directive from President Donald Trump for regulators to examine financial institutions for potential political bias.
“Certain of these matters are at various stages, including reviews, investigations, and legal proceedings,” the bank said.
Bank of America also said last week that they were fielding requests too.
