Americans for Free Markets (AFFM) has championed the Trump administration’s federal efforts to safeguard consumers and enact protections to rein in government-driven debanking.

We are pleased to see Governor Kay Ivey (R-AL) follow the President’s lead to avoid a patchwork of state policies. Instead, she has wisely chosen to focus on what is best for individuals and small businesses across Alabama – ensuring fair access to banking for all.

Fair Access

Fair access to banking is essential for individuals and small businesses across Alabama. When standards are inconsistent or politically influenced, trust erodes and opportunity is lost. Governor Ivey’s leadership emphasizes the need for the federal government to address the politically-motivated debanking by regulators.

Supporting President Trump

Governor Ivey’s executive order aligns with the Trump administration’s efforts at the federal level to ensure fair access to financial services nationwide. Consistent standards help avoid a patchwork of state policies and give consumers and businesses predictable, transparent rules wherever they operate.

Keeping the Momentum Going

This action reflects growing momentum to strengthen fairness, transparency, and accountability in financial regulation at the federal level.
