Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti money laundering probe The latest development in the ongoing saga between Capital One and the Trump Organization has shed light on a contentious issue that goes beyond partisan politics: the delicate balance between anti money laundering regulations and the risk of political debanking.
In a recent filing, Capital One made it clear that its decision to close the Trump Organization's bank accounts was motivated by concerns about suspicious transaction patterns and anti money laundering protocols.
The bank cited months of analysis by its anti money laundering team, guided by regulatory guidelines, which ultimately led to the closure of over 300 Trump affiliated accounts. The timing of this move is telling.
