Citibank drops gun policy after being slammed for discrimination
Citigroup has reversed its firearms policies after Trump accused Wall Street of discriminating against conservatives. The bank previously restricted services to clients selling firearms in certain circumstances after the devastating school shooting in Parkland, Florida in 2018. However, the bank announced on Tuesday that it was scrapping its position and will have no specific firearms policy going forward. 'We appreciate the concerns that are being raised regarding 'fair access' to banking services, and we are following regulatory developments, recent executive orders and federal legislation that impact this area,' the banking giant said in a statement. It comes after President Trump has accused lenders of denying services to certain industries or political groups because of their political leanings. In January, Trump publicly claimed that Citi rivals Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase were denying banking services to some conservatives. Speaking at the World Economic Forum Trump told Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan that he hoped he would open the bank 'to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business.' He added: 'You and Jamie and everybody… What you're doing is wrong,' referring to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Both banks have previously refuted the claims. Citi said it will also update its own employee code of conduct and access policies to include clauses that make clear it will not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation. Last year a dozen state auditors claimed that Bank of America had engaged in 'political de-banking.' De-banking is the process of an institution closing the account of a client it deems high risk. Bank of America said in a statement at the time that it has 'no political litmus test' for providing services. Red states have since been pushing through laws intended to stop banks from denying services to conservatives, and the variable laws between states has created a regulatory frustration for banks. Citi's 2018 policy stated that it would not provide banking services to retail clients that sold firearms to anyone under 21 or to those who didn't pass a background check. It also said it would not serve clients that sold bump stocks or high-capacity magazines. The policy covered small businesses, commercial and institutional clients, and credit card partners. However, it did not restrict how individual customers used their Citi cards and accounts. 'The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn't address the manufacturing of firearms,' Citi said on Tuesday.

JPMorgan Chase sees growth in Asia Pacific private credit market
SINGAPORE, June 5 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab sees significant growth potential in Asia Pacific's private credit market, focusing on countries across Asia and including Australia and India, Serene Chen, the bank's Asia Pacific head of credit, currency, and emerging market sales, said on Thursday. The U.S. bank has been actively building its private credit business in the region since 2019, targeting mid-sized companies without investment-grade ratings but with strong fundamentals, she said. Globally, tariff uncertainty and market volatility have sent some companies to seek private credit as a flexible funding alternative to traditional lenders, benefiting the $2 trillion private credit industry, which has grown from $500 million over the past decade, according to analysts. In February JPMorgan Chase announced that it would allocate another $50 billion for its direct lending push as the bank looks to expand its foothold in the rapidly growing private credit market. "Asia is driving over 50% of the world GDP growth, and we have some of the biggest economies in the region," Chen said on Thursday. "And our overall debt market in Asia, in public format, is only about $1.5 trillion and the GDP growth is strong, and in private credit, from the deal size we have seen, it's probably only about $200 billion every year or so for the last two years so has a large gap to catch up so we see it's still at the beginning stage of Asia private credit market," she added.
