Ex-Customer Sues U.S. Bank for Discriminatory Service

A former customer of U.S. Bank is suing the Minnesota-based company in federal court, alleging racial discrimination during an incident at a branch in Bloomington.

Peter Wogbah, who is Black, had a business account with U.S. Bank, but when he attempted to get a cashier’s check from that account in December 2021, tellers repeatedly turned him away and called police.

The lawsuit also alleges federal civil rights violations, breach of contract, defamation and emotional distress.
