>FDIC insurance should require banks to open accounts for citizens unless there is clear financial reasons to refuse ( ie fraud, or other criminal acts)

That wouldn't help OP since his account was crosed due to suspected fraud.

No where in their statement does it say that. You have projected that belief base on assumptions, Your incorrect application of the dept name in question, and probably a good helping of personal bais

Hint compliance department, != Only fraud

compliance department is also their political and Religious hit squad

[briantakita]

Would the compliance department also cover the Bank's compliance re: the Bank's financials?

It doesn't say it was closed for suspected fraud anywhere?

[scrollaway]

It doesn’t say it in the post but it’s what happened. “Your account was closed and we can’t tell you why, also you’re banned now” is always suspected fraud or worse.

I believe you are most likely right. I spoke with the teller at the bank and they said this happens most often with trying to cash bad checks. Mine is not that because I have never done that. My best guess with little evidence is some kind of anti money laundering thing, but again they won't say anything

[scrollaway]

If you don't know what happened, try to get a bank statement of the past ~2 months and go to someone who works in finance, ask them if there's anything that could raise red flags.

The "worse" has been proven to be political.. like when they closed gun dealers accounts a couple of years ago

While that sucks, my understanding is that was done differently. Those accounts were not locked and they told them a vague reason about risk. I believe they even gave them a month or so to withdraw before the accounts were to be closed.

If your account gets "flagged" and "locked" with no explaination at all, it's almost always suspected fraud, money laundering, or ties to blacklisted organizations.
