Eva Chipiuk, a lawyer known for her involvement in the Freedom Convoy and vocal criticism of Canadian institutions, has been blindsided after the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) terminated its banking relationship with her, citing risk-related concerns.
According to an official letter the banking institution sent to Chipiuk, her “recent activity was outside of RBC’s client risk appetite,” and it would “no longer be in a position to continue serving her.”
The bank has given her until August 18, 2025, to find an alternative financial institution.
Chipiuk says the move came after a flagged transaction involving a bitcoin purchase.
“The last interaction I had with RBC before they closed my account was when they froze it after I transferred some money to purchase bitcoin,” Chipiuk told the Western Standard.
“I called them to confirm the transaction was legitimate.”
Chipiuk says RBC told her they would have to consult their fraud department and then proceeded to ask her, “a number of very strange and demeaning questions.”
“Eventually, they cleared the account and told me to ‘be careful with crypto,’” she revealed.
She insists the bank gave no further explanation, only sending a letter saying her account would be closed in 30 days.
RBC’s official correspondence says that it is acting in accordance with federal regulations.
“As a federally regulated financial institution, RBC is required by law to comply with applicable legislation,” it reads.
“We are no longer in a position to continue our banking relationship with you.”

If the bank has local office or an affiliate office in any other US state or Canadian province the local officials ought to sue them into oblivion.
If Canadians don't take their country back from their Deep State, we're going to need a northern border wall, too...
She’s a lawyer....keep tak8ng them to court until your 3 million target cost is met.
I would think that after the behavior of the banks during the Freedom Convoy, there would be a move for customers to get away from the banks and go to credit unions. I wonder if the credit unions are just as bad... or perhaps there are just too many disadvantages to credit unions and what they can all provide especially for small businesses.
“Royal Bank of Canada shuts down Freedom Convoy lawyer’s accounts”
Not really, it was the CANADIAN GOVERNMENT that shut down the Convoy, through Bank of Canada. At least that’s how it works in the US.
“Justice” in Oh So Upright Canada
Need a lawyer? Forget it. We’ll blackmail them.
This is coming straight from Canada’s globalist, rump-UK-empire overlords in London.
Fascist Canada. No wonder the western provinces have had enough.
They have offices in 7 US cities and other business interests in this country. Close them down DJT.
