About COODA

The Canadian Observatory on De-banking Abuse

The Canadian Observatory on De-banking Abuse (COODA) was founded to shine a light on a silent and often invisible injustice: the systemic exclusion of individuals and communities from financial services without due process, explanation, or recourse.

What We Are Doing

Research & Documentation

We are gathering data, case studies, and testimonials to reveal patterns of abuse in financial exclusion.

Advocacy & Reform

We are working with community leaders, legal experts, and civil society groups to push for policy changes and regulatory oversight

Policy Monitoring & Accountability

We are monitoring financial regulations and policies related to de-banking

Our Mission

To expose and document the discriminatory practices of de-banking by financial institutions, which unfairly target and exclude Muslim-led and humanitarian charities under the pretense of "risk management." We advocate for policy reform to achieve fair banking and financial access.
