I have a US Fi account and a US number. Can they just deplatform my account and take the number? I will loose banking and exchanges access

In the US, carriers are legally required to port your number to your new service, but they can delay the process by up to a week. Generally, it's much much faster (I've ported numbers in literal minutes), but I don't know how it would go with a banned account.
