I'm the owner of a small business and I do my banking at Chase. I recently came to learn that Chase is among the list of companies that bowed to the left by expressing opposition to voter ID. The expressed reason is based on an obvious (and ironically racist) lie that minorities don't know how to get an ID and therefore requiring an ID to vote is racist. I gotta believe that they know this is false so if that assumption is true then that means their real opposition to IDs is really about the desire to game elections.
My business is thoroughly inconsequential to the existence of theirs and should I chose to leave, I know that it would have zero impact on their decision to oppose voter IDs. Though I suppose an argument could be made that if enough small business owners like me leaving could potentially have some impact my motivations are really less about punishing them for their actions but rather about simply following my conscience. I don't want to support companies that don't support me, my country or the rule of law. If a company I work with is is direct opposition to all of these then I'm inclined to not just walk away but rather run.
A similar version of this question was posited here in these forums a little over three years ago however the comments didn't seem to provide a definitive answer. I'm wondering if things may have changed since then. Chase's actions and the recent attempts to de-bank companies like gab have certainly given us reason to ask again... Are there any banking alternatives that are friendly or at least neutral to conservative organizations?
So how is this not a new civil war? Old War: The Alabama and Mississippi people traded in Confederate money and the Yankees insisted on their dollars.
Now MyPillow and Ivanka Trump’s clothes accounts can go to one place and BLM and Antifa can go to another and never the twain shall meet. At least meet peacefully.
Even if you found one, at the very least they’ll provide a debit card that processes through Visa or Mastercard. What will you do then?
tomorrow, I will see if my local credit union has home equite loans or 2nd mortgages....I do want to switch....we have excellent credit scores....
Would a local credit union be suitable for your business?
Last week, my wife and I moved much of our money out of Chase and into a local credit union. Reason being that if the economy goes south, we don't want to lose access to our money. Even though the FDIC says they will guarantee repayment of your cash, it is a lie. They would do a bail-in of your money, converting it into shares of Chase bank and then treating repayments as a bankruptcy formula thereby giving you only a fraction of what is owed to you. Credit unions are in better shape than large banks like Chase.
HSBC? I’m also looking into alternatives. I have an atm card from Chase that is not affiliated with Mastercard or Visa.

We use a small state bank. Tried a credit union reasonably close to us n they were complete idiots. We know the quirks of this bank n are ok with it.
Give up banking along with flying and all he other stuff.
“They would do a bail-in of your money, converting it into shares of Chase bank and then treating repayments as a bankruptcy formula thereby giving you only a fraction of what is owed to you. Credit unions are in better shape than large banks like Chase.”
Question? Is this what ALL the banks are prepared to do? Convert bank customers deposited cash into equity/bank stock. Instead of bank going down, there will now be LOTS of depositors lacking transferable funds/cash to pay their bills, then a domino funding problem starts with a cascading failure of fund transfers will occurr with only the bank having liquid funds to prevent bank failure but the rest of us will be sucking the hind tit.
Are the credit unions the only financial institution that are not allowed to indulge in this financial nefarious transaction? Curious minds want to know!
Who dreamed up this con game?
I’ve heard HBSC is best for world travel. True? I intend to stay away.
Why not just accept the fact that there are people band companies who express opinions contrary to yours and instead of constantly trying to find some kind of harmony, just evaluate them on the merit of the goods or services they provide? As long as they aren’t discriminating against you because of your beliefs, why would you do so?

Too close to the Hong Kong government, er Chicoms. That alone should scare you.
You do know what HSBC stands for, right? Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Although nominally a British bank, it has huge ties to Communist China now.
Why do the racist fascists at Chase Bank deny black people access to accounts by insisting they ID who they are?
Have to stay with Chase unfortunately.
All US-bound deposits are processed through Chase in Singapore. That means direct access to my Singapore salary in hours, not weeks, from the within the US without paying huge international money transfer fees that other banks/ credit unions will have.
All while using my Chase ATM Vader debit card that’s damned cool. Always get compliments on it).
Chase stands with corrupt practices like ballot stuffing and illegally changing election law by decree.
Who knows how honest their books are if they tolerate and promote such fraud?
They want the protection from Democrat politicians by sucking up to Democrat theives. They are seeking fascist power.
Not really a company to turn a blind eye to.
Amazon, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Dell, and Microsoft as well.

So not a debit card. So only good for pulling cash at a Chase ATM. Not useful anywhere else. So I’m guessing you are cash or checks only, when you need to buy something?
Or do you have a separate Visa/MC credit card for that, for online purchases?
Amazon, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Dell, and Microsoft as well.

You missed a few woke big ones:
Apple
Uber
Lyft
DoorDash
