Another one of former president Donald Trump’s banks said Thursday that it is closing his accounts, as Trump returns to a business hammered by covid-19 and the backlash to Trump’s role in the deadly attack on the Capitol.

“We no longer have any depository relationship with him," Bank United said Thursday. The bank declined to give a reason for its decision.

The Florida-based bank had held some of Trump’s money since at least 2015, according to the former president’s financial disclosures. At the end of 2020, Trump said he had two money market accounts at Bank United, containing between $5.1 million and $25.2 million combined. The financial disclosure forms allowed Trump to list his assets in ranges, rather than exact dollar amounts.

Since the Jan. 6 attack, a number of key partners, vendors and customers have cut ties with Trump’s company. That list now includes three of the four banks that held Trump’s largest deposits: Signature Bank and Professional Bank announced their decisions earlier this month. The fourth, Capital One Bank, has declined comment, saying it does not discuss current or former customer relationships.

Sorry Donald, you can't get cash from the ATM

1. Know Your Customer

Know your customer

The know your customer or know your client (KYC) guidelines in financial services requires that professionals make an effort to verify the identity, suitability, and risks involved with maintaining a business relationship. The procedures fit within the broader scope of a bank's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy. KYC processes are also employed by companies of all sizes for the purpose of ensuring their proposed customers, agents, consultants, or distributors are anti-bribery compliant, and are actually who they claim to be. Banks, insurers, export creditors and other financial institutions are increasingly demanding that customers provide detailed due diligence information. Initially, these regulations were imposed only on the financial institutions but now the non-financial industry, fintech, virtual assets dealers, and even the non-profit organizations are liable to oblige.

20. If I had written and issued

the commercial property policy on Mar-a-Lago (or any other of his properties) I'd be cancelling it (if I hadn't already)

2. "We did not launder money for dotard"..

Please preserve all past financial records, cuz you never know ! 😬

4. Junior is gonna have trouble getting $300 from an ATM for an eight ball at 2:30am!!!!

[Corgigal]

5. When I was about 18 years old,

I had a bank close my account. I had under ten bucks in the account.

Maybe something similar occurred here.

6. Hey, Donnie, need a bank?

Try the Bank of Moscow--you can get a good reference from your pal Vladdy, I'm sure!

[Escurumbele]

10. I have a feeling that Vlad has used all he could use from the buffoon, and the love is gone

I don't think Vladimir is a friend of the trumps anymore...Poor buffoon, all his "loyal" friends seems to be deserting him.

[sandensea]

24. +1

Cheeto's gone from useful idiot, to useless idiot.

[martalcd]

7. With no banks available to him, we'll see Trump shuffling through a local grocery store...

in his pajamas and slippers, to buy money orders.

[progree]

8. I wouldn't believe Trump even if he gave a wide range, unless it was -infinity to +infinity

The financial disclosure forms allowed Trump to list his assets in ranges, rather than exact dollar amounts.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. THAT is part of the "issue" in New York.........

questioning the true value of his holdings. For loans he claimed one number - for taxes it seems as though "he forgot" how high the other number had been......

[Grasswire2]

9. how can a bank "hold deposits" when he is 400 billion in debt?

Why don't the entities who hold those debts call for payment?

I don't get these massive floats.

[ScratchCat]

13. The debt is mostly real estate loans

There are payments and then balloons, and the lump sums are not due yet. Its really no different than you or I having a mortgage and a checking account.

He's just going to end up declaring bankruptcy again and will end up giving-up/selling off buildings and golf courses to settle the debt. His cash flow has been significantly harmed by both Covid-19 and his stupidity in destroying his own brand. His kids will end up with half a decade of financial and legal issues revolving around all his failed businesses.

[Grasswire2]

23. Feds may seize all the assets (so-called) for back taxes that were evaded.

Plus penalties.

And maybe criminal indictments.

[liberalmuse]

12. Methinks he is banking in China now.

Even though many of his administration officials are banned from China, Trump's name was conspicuously absent from that list.

[KS Toronado]

14. Methinks he'll be hiding money under mattresses

He's afraid of any paper trail

[OldManTarHeel]

15. Or a My Pillow . .

[liberalmuse]

18. Those deflate pretty quickly...

but no fear. Lindsay Graham will come over to Mar a Largo and fluff it for him.

[Wicked Blue]

21. ...

29. Oh Lordy that was great

[rurallib]

25. NYT disclosed that he did have accounts there

19. At least the BLOTUS still has bank account in China nt.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. And, more importantly,

you can't use the U.S. Government as your personal ATM any longer.....

[FakeNoose]

27. He keeps trying to deposit checks that are handwritten in Russian

[Wicked Blue]

28. LOL!

[Totally Tunsie]

30. At this rate, he'll be lucky to have a Christmas Club.

[Wawannabe]

31. My money is on

They’ve always known it is/was “cleaned” money....but now that there is actually a sheriff in town...they needed to get that dirty money outta their bank.

Just sayin
