“We Closed Our Account”: Advocates Call for Boycott of Citizens Bank for Financing ICE Jails

Filmmaker Julie Cohen and journalist Paul Barrett, who are married, recently wrote an opinion piece about closing their account at Citizens Bank over its complicity with Delaney Hall and other ICE jails.

“Over more than a dozen years, Citizens Bank has arranged for and helped provide some $2 billion in financing for GEO Group and CoreCivic,” says Barrett, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Businessweek. “Without that money, these corporations literally could not function.”

“We Closed Our Account”: Advocates Call for Boycott of Citizens Bank for Financing ICE Jails

We look at a growing boycott against Citizens Bank amid a campaign to pressure the corporation to divest from financing CoreCivic and GEO Group, two of the nation’s largest private operators of ICE jails. An interfaith coalition of dozens of religious groups in Boston said Citizens Bank has failed to adequately address its concern about financing private prisons, so the group has withdrawn $1 million from its estimated $14 million account with the bank and threatened to keep removing funds until its demands are met. Filmmaker Julie Cohen and journalist Paul Barrett, who are married, recently wrote an opinion piece about closing their account at Citizens Bank over its complicity with Delaney Hall and other ICE jails. “Over more than a dozen years, Citizens Bank has arranged for and helped provide some $2 billion in financing for GEO Group and CoreCivic,” says Barrett, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Businessweek. “Without that money, these corporations literally could not function.” “The idea is to basically use our collective economic power to speak out about those who are aiding and abetting” the immigrant detention system in the United States, adds Cohen. “A lot of what’s going on in these ICE detention facilities is not lawful because … immigrant neighbors, most of whom have not committed any crime beyond immigration violations, are being held there without due process.”

Times of India | Cloud-first, AI-led GCC reimagines global banking

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article explains how Citizens Bank, in partnership with Cognizant, is turning its Hyderabad global capability centre (GCC) from a traditional offshore delivery unit into a cloud‑first, AI‑led transformation engine that owns platforms, capabilities, and business outcomes. Built under a “build‑operate‑transform‑transfer” (BOTT) model, the centre now staffs about 1,000 people and operates as the bank’s largest hub, focused on outcome‑based, federated work that contributes directly to top‑line growth, product innovation, risk reduction and strategic goals. Leaders emphasize a shift from cost‑arbitrage to “capability sovereignty,” giving the GCC decision‑making rights, common standards, and governance, while moving all core banking applications to the cloud as a foundation for AI adoption with strong oversight. The Hyderabad team runs critical functions such as Citizens Pay (a buy‑now‑pay‑later service) and private‑banking capabilities, illustrating a blueprint for other banks to treat GCCs as strategic engineering assets rather than simple cost centers.

Cloud-first, AI-led GCC reimagines global banking

Global capability centres (GCCs) were once offshore delivery arms but are today being rebuilt as cloud-first, AI-led transformation engines that own platforms, capabilities and outcomes. That is the direction in which Cognizant and Citizens Bank are taking the bank’s GCC in Hyderabad.

June 6 is a national day of action to de-ICE Citizens Bank

While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies, which are already holding more than half of the immigrants currently in ICE detention across the country.

Even as it publicly touts its commitment to “strengthening our communities,” Citizens Bank has played a key role in helping GEO and CoreCivic access more than $2.5 billion in financing, some of it approved earlier this year. This comes as the companies face a mountain of allegations, including forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities.

**Join the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition and thousands of people across the country on June 6 to raise the volume on calls for the bank to stop lending to for-profit ICE prison companies.** Organizers, you can get the details and a toolkit with background information, handouts, a press release and more [here](https://www.mobilize.us/deicecitizens/c/massmobilizationday/event/create/).
