'Their Lies Start With Their Name': Bank of America Slammed for Using Woke Social Credit System

Spencer Brown
June 08, 2023

Bank of America and its CEO Brian Moynihan are the target of a new ad campaign calling out the financial giant's efforts to use the power they've accumulated as a weapon to attack the very country and customers that allowed it to become influential in the first place.

The campaign is the latest volley from Consumers' Research, a group that seeks to expose leftist activism from prominent companies, call out their misguided priorities, and hold entities accountable for their attempts to enforce far-left policies by doing an end-run around the American people and their elected representatives in government.

Will Hild — executive director of Consumers' Research — explained that Bank of America's "CEO Brian Moynihan has wielded the United States' second-largest bank like a political club," and "brought China's social credit system to American soil by using arbitrary ESG metrics to potentially lock individuals and businesses out of key banking services."

The new effort from Consumers' Research includes a "Woke Alert" along with two new national television ads, a "Bank of UnAmerica" website, a billboard in New York City's Times Square, and more than a dozen mobile billboards dispatched to the streets of Charlotte, New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Miami, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, Salt Lake City, Conway (Arkansas), Lubbock, Odessa, Lexington (Kentucky), and Northern Virginia.

"This is the same bank that helped build the Chinese Communist Party, investing billions of American dollars into China to help facilitate its rise," Hild continued. "They can call themselves Bank of America, but the truth is that Moynihan and his crew have been working to undermine America at every turn."

They were awful 20 years ago when I closed my account with them and moved to a credit union.

BofA is one of the worst banks...quit using them over 20 years ago due to their policies and especially "fees".

Use a local credit union if you can.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

Local credit union or local bank.  The local banks tend to be much more in-touch with their local communities than the big national banks are.

No surprise - Hugh McColl is a notorious liberal, and their execs are of like mind.  The whole time I worked in Charlotte I prayed they would move to NYC and let us have a functional city.
