Does any one know of any banks (for personal banking) that do not, at least officially, support the new LGBTQ religion?
I began thinking of this after seeing that my bank, Bank of America, was originally a sponsor of the "Shakespeare in the Park" assassination-of-Trump play. They withdrew their support but the fact that they would give it to begin with bothers me and I started thinking about using another bank.
Also, does any one know who Planned Parenthood banks with? I wouldn't like to have my money in the same bank as they do.
Are there any acceptable banking institutions from a Catholic standpoint?

There are many Christian (not necessarily Catholic) Credit Unions which provide most banking services that the major banks (along with their agendas) provide. Most have remote banking services (online banking, using an ATM network nationwide, etc.). If a Credit Union like this is not local for you, most of them provide banking services online. Google "Christian Credit Unions" or "Catholic credit unions" and there are plenty out there.

No, as far as I can tell. Every bank I know of charges "interest," which is not permitted by Church law. Of course, considering the other above concerns of principals and morals, that is probably the least of the evils to fret over...
I second Emitte Lucem Tuam and say go find a credit union. In some cases, it is even more economical then a big bank.

Good idea about the credit unions, but none of the ones in Houston have branches any where near me, and I don't have a car. Plus, not all of them offer things like debit or credit cards, which you need to rent an apartment or a car, etc.
I was just hoping that at least one big bank wouldn't be an open supporter of the sodomite agenda.

The entire banking system is centralized, thus run by a small group of people.
Pull most of your money out of banks and store it a decentralized fashion (e.g., with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin (https://bitcoin.org/en/)). Kraken (https://www.kraken.com/) is one such service that makes it easy to exchange between US$ and several cryptocurrencies.

I'd start by listing the banks which you can get to and then start with the smallest one to see if they meet your needs.
I really can't imagine a bank that doesn't offer a debit card because we have an account with a single-location bank in our town of less than 2,000 people and they provide all of the necessities -- online banking, debit card, ATM, auto loans, etc.

I am a member of a local Catholic Credit Union. EVERY single credit union I have came across offers credit and debit cards. They also generally don't make you keep minimum balances, or require a certain dollar amount of monthly direct deposits, in order to avoid fees. Yes, I'm sure my credit union is "novus ordo" but it is much better than the big banks.

And that's a good thing? Proof credit cards are controlled by a small group of people who bully people with beliefs different than theirs: the financial censorship of revisionist historian ("h0Ɩ0cαųst denier") David Irving (https://mises.org/blog/financial-censorship-growing)
(and his isn't the only instance of financial censorship)
