MUSLIMS ARE COMMON VICTIMS OF BANKING DISCRIMINATION BY US BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Muslim individuals, businesses, and non profit organizations have reported facing potentially discriminatory practices at some of the nation's largest banks, including:
- Being denied opening a new personal account:
- Having a personal account suspended or closed;
- Being denied having payment sent/received via personal account using PayPal, Venmo, or similar payment apps; and,
- Having a personal bank account placed under investigation for sending payments to others.
“Banking While Muslim” becomes a new category of potential financial discrimination
In recent years, Muslim individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations have reported facing potentially discriminatory practices at some of the nation’s largest banks.
According to a report released by a nonprofit that provides research about American Muslims, a quarter of the American Muslim population has faced hurdles while banking in the United States.
These challenges include:
- Not being allowed to open an account;
- Having an account suspended or closed; and,
- Having payments subjected to extra scrutiny.
Banking is at the heart of what allows individuals and institutions to function and contribute.
If it is indeed being systemically obstructed, this type of institutional discrimination risks disenfranchising an entire community economically and politically.
Survey data on banking challenges seem to support the theory that financial institutions are disproportionately placing Muslims under suspicion and limiting account actions.
These limitations can impact a community’s ability to run civic and charitable organizations, start and grow businesses, and access and grow its wealth.
These experiences of disparate treatment while opening or maintaining a bank account can be found in different regions across the country.

Some common “justifications” banks may provide for their racial profiling practices include:
- “International transactions were restricted;”
- “You were sending or receiving money from an unfamiliar person;” or,
- A keyword in the transaction raised a red flag.
A growing sense that such incidents are not isolated has pushed a group of lawmakers to urge financial institutions to “modernize” policies that implicitly discriminate based on ethnic and religious background.
In 2022, dozens of lawmakers—led by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)—sent a letter to the head of U.S. banking regulators, asking officials to reassess policies that actively discriminate against Muslim Americans and communities of color.
The lawmakers wrote that “Many Muslim and Arab, Middle Eastern and South Asian Americans, simply because of their connections—real or perceived—have been systematically cut off from financial services.”
