Wells Fargo Bank
Accused of Jim Crow Banking Practices
By: Rev. Frank Paul Jones - President and CEO - The National
Community Network
Rev. Frank Paul Jones, President and CEO of the National
Community Network, INC., filed a complaint with the Office of Comptroller of
U.S. Currency, the Department of Treasury on July 7th, 2014. The complaint is against Wells Fargo Bank for
unfair Jim Crow & Redlining banking practices, with the intent of
preventing any type or form of black unity in the South and in Avon Park , FL.
The reason for filing this complaint is because Rev. Frank
Paul Jones, who was not even duly recognized as reverend in a letter by the
Bank's Store manager Samantha McClelland below, which is another sign of her disrespect and disregard for black
authority and self determination in the South; is that this goes far beyond
simply our being denied a savings account in order to be more fiscal
responsible by saving the monthly fees associated with banking with Wells
Fargo, but they are basically saying these things as well is:
1: If we decide to run a crowd-funding campaign (raise money
over the internet) for a sick child in the hospital dying with an immediate
need, all of our board members and all of our officers from every part of the
country must do a roll call and come before Master Samantha McClelland for her
approval, here in Avon Park, FL. This is
discrimination and unfair business practices.
2: They are saying if our community decides to support
someone who may not be politically acceptable by Wells Fargo, to do so that
must all show up before Master Samantha McClelland for her approval. This is
discrimination and unfair business practices.
This opens the black community up to all types of
intimidation tactics that can be used to prevent our organizing for our
rights. This may go beyond our battle
for voting rights in the South. This
opens all our supporters in key positions in our organization to being vetted
by those who may be their oppressors and may act as a deterrent and therefore it
is my duty to stand before them and therefore it should be my right as a non
profit President & CEO - Agent whose bylaws state he handles all fiduciary
responsibilities, who is already doing business with this banking institution with
a business checking account, in times of community associated needs be able to
act at our full 501 c 3 capacity. What she is doing clearly preventing us for
doing our daily business transactions and therefore clearly prevents our
organization from properly functioning as we were designed and intended to
serve our community.
I do not think this was an isolated incidence, but a clear
cut conspiracy being exposed proving that Wells Fargo is on a large scale
suppressing black investment, redevelopment of community and black unity or our
ability to unify for any just causes of our choice without Wells Fargo ability
scrutinize us. And based on their agenda
have the authority to serve us or not serve us, by giving them the ability to target
individuals who support our causes out of key positions. These are basic
fundamental banking rights being denied for black's in Avon Park , FL. Florida
The Store Manager was so arrogant
as to sign this letter as to say, "Now get out of my bank nigger." Anyway this is how she made me feel she was
handling me. We haven't decided on our next course of action to end these
unfair banking practices by Wells Fargo.
Stay Tuned!
Rev. Frank Paul Jones - President
and CEO
The National Community Network,
INC.
She was so
arrogant as to give me this document, which she signed and therefore there is
no denying what happened.
This letter is to
confirm that on this 3'd day of July 2O14, we are unable to fulfill the request of the
customer Mr. Jones to open a savings account in the name of the corporation in which
Mr. Jones is the operating agent of. We are unable to open the business savings account due to the articles of the corporation listing seven additional
officers that are not present at the
financial institution.
I believe this is a wide spread
practice at Well Fargo & Company, because the store manager went as far as
to sign this letter stating she would deny us banking rights at Wells Fargo,
based on bank policy.
