Christian Charity Serving Impoverished Ugandans Accuses Bank of America of ‘Debanking’ Due to Religious Beliefs
A Christian charity that serves impoverished Ugandans, Indigenous Advance Ministries, has accused Bank of America of shutting down their account because of their religious views. The organization, which has been with BofA since 2015, claims to have had $270,000 in their account before they were ‘debanked.’
According to their website, Indigenous Advance Ministries works with local charities that include Sanyuka Children’s Home in Mukono, that feeds, clothes, and cares for young orphans in the impoverished country.
In the ‘Core Beliefs’ section of their website, they affirm their evangelical Christian views including that ‘all human life is sacred… from conception to natural death.’
The Memphis-based non-profit has now filed a complaint with the Tennessee Attorney-General’s office claiming the accounts were closed because of its ‘religious views,’ an accusation denied by BofA in a statement to DailyMail.com.
