Out of Wells Fargo

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Seattle has decided to move its account out of Wells Fargo bank.

Seattle moves billions of dollars through that account each year. If each dollar money remains there a month on the average, the account probably has a balance of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Unfortunately, Seattle can't actually change how it does this banking until late next year. But you can move your money out of the DAPL-funding banks next week. They are

Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, BayernLB, BBVA, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Crédit Agricole, DNB ASA, ICBC, ING, Intesa Sanpaolo, Mizuho Bank, Natixis, SMBC, Société Générale, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, TD Bank, Wells Fargo.

It is also important on general principles to stop doing business with the big banks that provoked the financial crisis of 2008. I moved money out of Bank of America several years ago for that reason.
