DEARBORN — After receiving hundreds of calls from Arab Americans about bank account closures, the Arab American Civil Rights League is litigating a class-action lawsuit filed against Huntington Bank on July 11, 2013. Since March of this year, hundreds of complainants have called the bank closure hotline that was set up after members of the community began receiving letters that their bank accounts were being closed with no further explanation.  

ACRL would like to remind the community that they are still addressing this issue and the community hotline remains available for new complaints. If anyone has been affected by this illegal and discriminatory practice by the banks, please call the organization’s hotline at 313.633.0890 or office at 313.633.0231. 

The ACRL is still accepting complaints related to any banking institutions that engaged in this practice.
