Washington, D.C. – August 7, 2025
President Donald Trump is expected to sign two executive orders on Thursday aimed at strengthening financial protections and expanding retirement investment options.
The first order will prohibit financial institutions from denying or restricting services based on an individual’s political or religious beliefs, or their engagement in lawful business activities. The measure is intended to formalize protections against so-called “debanking” practices and ensure equal access to financial services.
The second order will broaden the categories of assets eligible for inclusion in 401(k) retirement plans, with the goal of enhancing flexibility and long-term growth opportunities for American savers.
Both actions reflect the administration’s ongoing focus on financial freedom and consumer rights.
