Identity doctrine asserts that the "root of all evil" is [[Fiat money|paper money]] (particularly [[Federal Reserve Note]]s), and that both usury and [[Bank|banking systems]] are controlled by Jews.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=87}} Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35–37 and [[Book of Deuteronomy|Deuteronomy]] explicitly condemn usury.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=92}} Ezekiel 18:13 states "He who hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him" and it is quoted as a justification for killing Jews.

Christian Identity advocates the belief that the creation of the [[Federal Reserve System]] in 1913 shifted the control of money from Congress to private institutions and violated the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] and the monetary system encourages the Federal Reserve to take out loans, creating trillions of dollars in government debt, and allowing international bankers to control the United States. Credit/debit cards and computerised bills are seen as the fulfillment of the Biblical scripture which warns against "[[The Beast (Revelation)|the beast]]" (i.e., banking) as quoted in Revelation 13:15–18.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=91}}

Identity preacher Sheldon Emry stated that "Most of the owners of the largest banks in America are of [[Eastern Europe]]an (Jewish) ancestry and connected with the (Jewish) [[N M Rothschild & Sons|Rothschild European banks]]", thus, according to Identity doctrine, the global banking conspiracy is led and controlled by Jewish interests.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|p=91}} Emry used the radio airwaves to promote his Christian Identity message and his book ''Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People''. Emry promoted abolishing the banks, which he suggested would solve most of society's ills, including unemployment, divorce, and women working outside the home.{{Sfn|Levitas|2002|p=181}}
