>denial of banking service is de facto denial of the human right to own property.
Is property ownership a 'human right', or a 'human privilege' (nod to George Carlin)?

It's literally in the UN declaration, and widely accepted as a basic right. If some philosopher thinks there is some sense in which it isn't a right, so much the worse for their philosophy.
The UN is not a moral authority and utterances endorsed by it have no more moral weight than any other political organisation.
Imagine being a newcomer coming to this discussion and the two sides are "debanking is bad and hurts people" and "the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is garbage."

All rights are unnatural. Therefore “we” get to collectively agree on what rights all people ought to be granted.
I believe almost anywhere you go you’ll find that most people agree to consider property ownership to be a basic right.
