Not being from the US or Canada I don't know the first thing about your banks or the CIA. That said, it just seems ridiculous to me that a bank would control you through the management of your money.
To you, because you don't know the first thing about our banks, no offense. If you did you wouldn't trust them either lol. It seems absolutely plausible they'd do it imo. They already do it with criminals to an extent, which could be argued as fair I suppose, but I don't want to see that expand at the very least.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Paypal famously colluded to block donations to wikileaks. That control was exercised at an international level.
