Man’s Chase Payment Processing Shut Down, Suspects Political Targeting of Provocative Conservative Merchandising Chase Bank Unable to Produce Reason for Account Termination Chase Corporate Global Media Relations: “Chase is not involved with any like, you know, alt-right people” Other Conservative Voices and Chase Bank Customers Also ‘Debanked’ Recently
UPDATE: Chase Bank Communications Officer Patricia Wexler responded to this report, saying: “We do not close accounts due to political affiliation. Despite what was described in the video, that was NOT someone from Global Corporate Media Relations. As I’m sure you can appreciate, I’m not able to share any personal details on anyone’s individual or business account.”
(Washington DC) Project Veritas has released a video report (the full 10 minute version can be found below) about a man whose Chase bank account was shut down without being given a reason. The report, which includes testimony from Enrique Tarrio, the man whose Chase account was terminated, features undercover video of conversations with bank professionals discussing the account’s closure.
Said Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe,
“Are there unwritten Chase policies that Mr. Tarrio and others were in breach of? ‘Debanking’ appears to be a new frontier in American politics.”
Insiders can contact Project Veritas here.
Before the account’s termination, Tarrio, whose website sells provocative conservative merchandise, spoke to Chase bank professionals. Tarrio says that phone operators for Chase were unable to explain why his business account was being terminated.
Conversations in various Chase bank offices were recorded and provided to Project Veritas.
Multiple Chase account and bank managers were unable to assist Tarrio, saying that inquiries regarding the closure of his business account would have to be directed to the “executive office.”
Said one of the Chase bankers, Marcel Smith:
“I see nothing that indicates any reason why the account should be closed, I don’t see any outstanding transactions or anything ridiculous.”
Chase bank typically gives its customers a reason for account closures, says Smith:
“I’ve never seen them not give a response to someone whose account they had closed.”
An analyst from the Chase executive office, Nora, told Tarrio that his account was being closed for various clerical issues. In a phone conversation with Nora, which was published by Project Veritas, Tarrio clarifies there were no clerical issues.
“The Right Relationship is Everything”
Undercover audio from a conversation with a Chase employee working in Chase Corporate Global Media Relations reveal that Chase bank makes political judgments about their customers.
JOURNALIST: I don’t want to do business with anyone who does business with Steve Bannon, or any of these alt right people, and that’s just one of my prerequisites.
CHASE: Right, right. As far as I’m concerned, we’re not connected with Steve Bannon.
JOURNALIST: Do you have standards in place that would preempt such relationship with anyone, um of Steve Bannon’s –
CHASE: Oh definitely. Definitely, definitely.
JOURNALIST: That’s what I’m calling to inquire about. Tell me more.
CHASE: Right so I mean, Chase is not involved with any like, you know, alt right people or anything. I really can’t name names but it’s basically like we don’t get involved with any of that…
JOURNALIST: … I don’t expect for you guys, I’m not talking about who you guys give money to –
CHASE: No, just any business relationships, period.
JOURNALIST: Really? Okay… So I mean on my end I’m talking about people like Trump supporters for instance. The MAGA, whatever – make, whatever the hell they, those types of people, I mean individuals –
CHASE: Right, right. I know what you mean, but like I said the call is being recorded, monitored, so I can’t get too political. And say I don’t support these people, or this, but you know, any kind of business entity, people like that, no moral character or anything like that, the bank usually doesn’t get involved with that.”
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe believes that transparency could clear up issues like Mr. Tarrio’s. In order to investigate more issues, Project Veritas receives tips from insiders in technology, government, education, and other professional fields here. Full 10-Minute Video:
Damn. I do business with these clowns.
and dont make me go to Bank of America. They’re MORE leftwing than Chase..and this includes Wells fargo too.
Wish there was a FReeRepublic Bank etc
Credit Unions are more popular in Canada. Some People just dislike banks and I place my money there instead of a bank. They dont have an agreement with US fed agencies to report earnings of US residents unlike banks..
No. Lincoln kicked him upstairs to the Supreme Court when he attempted a backroom maneuver against Lincoln.
We are probably the same age. (I turned 60 today.) Men wearing hats indoors was a no-no: not in school, not in church, not in restaurants, not in public buildings and they took them off at games for the Star Spangled Banner. This is the North so not as strict. My dad was a farmer in my young years so a hat in the house was not a big deal.
Yes, sorry. I am female, but we only wore hats on Easter Sunday when I was little.
“Frankly, hats are not supposed to be worn in public buildings anyway, at least that is how manners used to work. I am still shocked when hats are worn in church. (I am old)”
As head coach of the NFL Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints Bum Phillips refused to wear his trademark Stetson in either teams domed home fields.
When asked why he didn’t wear it in the dome he said “mama taught me to take off my hat in the house.”
Hats were common on men (outdoors) and women (in church) until JFK's inauguration. He delivered his speech bare-headed in the freezing cold. The hat industry for grown-ups has never recovered.
Today at a Latin Mass (Catholic), you see lots of ladies wearing hats in church.
Simple brilliant point
Speaking of “moral character”, I wonder how much business they do with Planned Butcherhood?
Chase is in need of a good audit... to verify it’s high moral standards.
Moral character in a banking situation is simple: Handle the money deposited. Lend money to the creditworthy. Follow the law. Anything beyond that is immoral.
I believe I'm one though I did brake a very small infraction and they used that against me. Though their official forums put me on a black list that was leaked calling me a racists.
I talked to a lawyer he said because I broke the infraction I have no case
“Screw the banks, join a Credit Union. They are owned by the people that belong, not the NWO pukes like the Rothschilds, Warburgs and the Rockefeller clans”
A while back, I made a remark in my credit union lobby about women in management, and noted that no men were employed there. Some leftwad heard it and called the management. The management, believe it or not, called me to say that either I stop staying things like that or they were going to give me the boot.
OK, so can someone make a list of banks, tech, retail, service entities that are not antiAmerican hostile political leftists? Shouldn’t be too difficult, it’s probably a very short list.

I think crypto currency credit cards will start popping up before long. The banks certainly are making conditions ripe for that sort of thing.
Translation: They are moral people; we hate moral people.
i owe them $2k on a chase card... maybe I will show them what no moral character is and default...lol
they sound like those A$$hat$ at bank of america.
I tried to Deposit Cash ($40.00) into Step Daughter’s Checking a few weeks ago and was refused by the boa teller because I am not on the account.
About 20 years ago I had a Payroll Check drawn on a boa account and was told that I would be charged $20.00 to cash it because I didn’t have an account with them !!!
