bank discriminating against me for marriage to Nigerian citizen


Washington: I am a U.S. born citizen. I have been a customer of Wells Fargo bank for 8 yrs. I have several types of accounts; loans, line of credit, checking, and savings. In March I took in my marriage certificate for my marriage performed in Nigeria when I married my Nigerian husband for a name change. The banker made many comments face to face and in a follow up phone call with me about Nigerian scammers and not to cash large checks or open accounts for my husband, etc. I complained about this as being excessive. Since then, I have alerts for suspicious activity attached to my account, they have withheld online payments to businesses I normally do business with, have suspended my account without notification on two occassions, and post a no check cashing without approval notice on my account. Am I being discriminated against due to their knowledge of the nationality of my husband based on the document I was required to give for the name change?What is the name of your state?
