A) “which” wrongly refers to “banks” rather than to the situation.
B) “a stringent background check” is singular; however, it is wrongly followed by the plural form “are”
C) is allright
D) “which” wrongly refers to “records” rather than to the situation.
E) should say “The reason that…is that”, not “The reason that…is because”

Corrections or points of improvement are welcome

I think there is "Pronoun reference" error in the sentence E because pronoun 'they' is not clearly pointing to the investment banks.
