I used to work for those assholes. Well, actually any large financial institution probably makes its decisions based entirely on money and what they think they can get away with, not on anything as quaint as moral considerations. Corporate entities are basically sociopaths.

Still, I think I’ll close my account.

Do the people at you local branch really have anything to do with this? They didn’t do anything wrong.

Sometimes that is all you can do. A small protest but if enough people are pissed and close accounts they will listen.
