Have you reviewed your banks T&Cs?

This happened to me a decade ago (not in the US), and I was surprised to find that every bank in the country had similar provisions in place. I'd be surprised if yours doesn't too.

In the country I live in (Brazil) the arbitration clause would go against the Consumer Law that says:

"Are null or void, Contractual clauses relating to the supply of products and services that [...] imply a waiver or provision of rights."

Access to justice being a right, arbitration clauses that forbid the consumer to go to the judiciary system are not valid. They can offer it, but not force it.
