Mars Finance News: On May 22, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order on the 19th of this month, requiring additional scrutiny of “non-citizens” in banking activities in the United States.
According to information from the White House official website, Trump instructed the Treasury Department to issue formal guidance to financial institutions, requiring them to identify and report suspicious conduct such as evasion of payroll taxes, concealing the true identities of account holders, and paying wages off the books.
It is reported that the executive order, under the rationale of “restoring integrity in the financial system and preventing systemic risks,” instructs the Treasury Department, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and federal financial regulatory agencies to issue new regulations within 60 to 180 days.
The main contents include: requiring financial institutions to strengthen customer due diligence for people without work authorization and their employers; incorporating “possible deportation and income loss” as factors in assessments of loan repayment capacity; and conducting strict investigations into illegal financial activities that use methods such as personal taxpayer identification numbers (ITIN), shell companies, and split transactions to evade the Bank Secrecy Act.

Small banks' KYC costs skyrocket, and in the end, consumers foot the bill; interest rates must go up.

Splitting transactions was originally for tax avoidance; now labeling them as suspicious outright is harsh.

Detailed rules will be released in 60 days, and I estimate another wave of small banks will directly close, as they can't bear the compliance costs.

The Ministry of Finance's guiding document hasn't been released yet; let's wait and see, don't rush to close accounts.

It's about restoring integrity, but actually it's just a show for the rednecks. Where's the data?

The repayment assessment adds eviction risk—who wrote this algorithm? It's so bad.

Trump has turned the banks into informants for ICE, and financial privacy has been completely destroyed.

Chinese business owners opening accounts with an ITIN should take note; future tax investigations could hold them jointly responsible.

This policy seems to be about risk prevention, but in reality, it's just pushing those without proper identification to the limit, making bank account opening even harder.
