Clear rules. Objective standards. Less political pressure. Our national survey findings show strong bipartisan support for ending government-driven debanking by establishing a clear, objective national fair access standard. Read the full findings:

The American public is sending a clear message: banking oversight should be based on facts, not politics. New national survey results show overwhelming bipartisan support for objective standards. More on AFFM’s recent findings:

When regulators rely on vague or subjective standards, trust erodes. Our latest survey shows growing consensus amongst bipartisan voters that modernizing outdated banking rules can ensure fair access to banking services. Read our newest survey results: forfreemarkets.org/affm-survey-re…

.@dlibsen said it best: More government interventions only add red tape and hurt consumers. Watch why even well-intentioned government regulations backfire, underlining the need for a national fair access standard to banking from Congress:

Pleasure to join @SuperTalkNews and @MidDaysGerard to discuss fair access and debanking in MS!

The banking system works best when institutions evaluate customers on objective criteria, not political pressure. Government regulators shouldn’t interfere with banks who serve lawful individuals and businesses across the economy. More from @dlibsen on avoiding a patchwork of state debanking laws:

Mississippi values free markets and limited government — which is why adding another layer of state banking regulation is misguided. AFFM Executive Director @dlibsen writes in @magnoliatribune how HB 1597 would complicate federal efforts already in motion:

We applaud @federalreserve for seeking to make permanent the removal of reputational risk from bank supervision. Ensuring fair access to banking services strengthens trust in the system & AFFM looks forward to working w/ @SenatorTimScott to enact a national fair access standard.

U.S. Senate Banking Committee GOP@BankingGOP

Chairman @SenatorTimScott applauds the Fed’s move to codify its removal of reputational risk from supervision. No American should lose access to banking services because of their political views, faith, or lawful business. This is a major step toward ending debanking.

Rate caps don't improve credit card access — they reduce it. A 10% credit card cap could mean lower credit lines, tighter approvals and added fees. Less flexible credit means costlier alternatives — hurting small businesses and their customers. More from @USChamber: uschamber.com/finance/how-cr…

Price controls reduce access and harm the very people they're meant to help. A 10% credit card rate cap would eliminate access for nearly 9 out of 10 cardholders with lower credit scores. @dlibsen on why government mandates backfire and free markets work:

A new @CatoInstitute report reveals how government's role in private banking decisions led to sudden and often unexplained debanking. @EconWithNick explains government-driven debanking and what Congress can do to restore fair access:

.@POTUS’ EO and @SenatorTimScott’s FIRM Act are crucial steps to end government-driven debanking. Working off of this momentum, Congress and the administration can protect our nation’s free market system and ensure fair access to banking is based on sound business judgment, not shifting political winds.

Regulators have enormous powers over the banks...too much. It is vital that regulators evaluate objective, quantifiable banking metrics rather than subjective measures, such as reputation risk, which is prone to abuse. Important piece on debanking from @ForFreeMarkets' @SenToomey

ICYMI: @SenToomey discusses progress toward “ending politically-motivated, government-driven debanking” and the need to ensure additional, more permanent solutions preserve “banks’ ability to manage their own reputation risk responsibly.” Read his op-ed in @WashTimes: washingtontimes.com/news/2025/dec/…

Lasting protection requires federal action! Congress must support the Trump administration in protecting fair access to banking for all Americans by providing clear legislation that ensures a national, cohesive framework. Watch @dlibsen on the @MikeGallagher Show about the ongoing efforts to get there. More: forfreemarkets.org/icymi-affms-da…
