The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs published a call from Chairman Tim Scott for businesses and individuals who have been “debanked” to report allegations to committee staff using the committee’s confidential whistleblower resource ahead of its upcoming hearing on the issue. The committee asked whistleblowers to provide the relevant business, agency, or organization and details of the allegation, along with contact information so staff can follow up. Scott framed the request as part of efforts to ensure affected Americans are heard, prevent future “chokepoint activities,” and hold accountable those who “exploited their power.” The committee is scheduled to hold a hearing focused on debanking on February 5, 2025.
