The latter is a correct summary of what TFA says actually happens. Also hi, yes, it's me, I'm debanked at most US banks without wrongdoing.

I'm also debanked, but sporadically, and weirdly at only some investment institutions. Fidelity outright banned me and demanded I call in to withdraw my money between absurd hours. I sent them an intent to file a lawsuit and I got my money wired within 48 hours. Vanguard and TD Ameritrade have no problem taking my money.

I'm also banned at Zelle, but Venmo and CashApp and Paypal are all fine.

What a weird world.

Of course none of them will tell me why I'm banned. I have my suspicions.

I'm sure you know exactly what shady thing you did to get yourself banned.
I've gambled online (which is legal) and owned cryptocurrency through Coinbase (also legal). So... I guess?
