This is a new talking point for the Right - their spin is that banks stop doing business with people because of their politics. Basically using his cult to get change or revenge for himself.

To answer your question:
Debanking is when a bank closes or denies an account to a customer, which can happen for various reasons, including risk management, the customer violating a contract, or, in a controversial usage, due to the customer's political or religious beliefs. While some debanking is an operational decision for a bank's business, politicized debanking involves pressure from government regulators or banks choosing to disfavor certain political groups or industries for ideological reasons, leading to concerns about censorship and discrimination.
