JPMorgan Targeted by Officials Claiming Religious Bias, WSJ Says

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is being targeted by Republican state officials claiming the bank discriminated against some customers because of their religious beliefs, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Nineteen Republican state attorneys general sent a letter this month to Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, the newspaper said. They accused the bank of a “pattern of discrimination” and denying customers banking services because of political or religious affiliations. Fourteen Republican state treasurers wrote a similar letter in March, the paper said.
