Banxodus (bank + exodus)

The “banxodus” (bank + exodus), or Bank Transfer Day, was planned for November 5, 2011 by the BoldProgressives (Progressive Change Campaign Committee) and their website Banxodus.org, registered on October 21, 2011. The “exodus” idea was to move money out of big “too big to fail” banks that helped to create the financial crisis of the late 2000s.
 
“Banxodus” is not yet trademarked and might have usage after 2011.

Prepare for ‘Banxodus’: Thousands Pledge to Close Their Bank Accounts
