City Comptroller Brad Lander joined Mayor Eric Adams and the department of finance to announce the city would stop making deposits into the two banks, Lander said in a statement Thursday.

The existing accounts will be used to make payments, but no additional deposits will be made, nor will new accounts be opened at either bank, according to a spokesperson for the comptroller.

"Capital One prohibits discrimination and harassment against any applicant, intern, Associate, vendor, contractor, customer, or client on the basis of protected characteristics," the bank said in a statement after the comptroller's announcement.

(This story has been corrected to clarify the use of accounts after the comptroller officially amended statement in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and headline, and to fix the spelling of the comptroller's surname in the second reference in paragraph 2)
