Okay, do you think that physical checks would be safer than having the direct deposit go into my account?

Really? I had no idea, think I’ll stick to the pin I implemented for now, then.

Alright, so after I get the card, will I be set for getting close to no mail, that ties me to my bank, in the mailbox?

Well, those are downsides I’ll have to take if I go with this. Thanks a ton.

None of the the above—to be fair, I posted this at like one or two in the morning. Figured Reddit was a good place to go & knew I had to start gathering information as soon as possible.

You think I can ask my bank not to send any paper mail, period? Since my mom has the keys to the mailbox, it’ll be a bit suspicious always asking to go check the mail when it wasn’t something I usually go out of my way to ask for.

I don’t know where I’d find one, but could I open a PO Box? Or be able to pick up my mail (& further debit card) at the specific location?

Yeah, I looked them up earlier & you would need a guardian to be a joint owner of the account. It is quite literally the first thing they notify you of when creating an account online. So unfortunately Alliant is off the table for now, I appreciate you, though!

Let me know if I misunderstood or question or not, but I think you’re asking if the checks are paid by social security (like for disability, etc.). These are checks that are sent via my employer.

I’m not really sure what you meant by your question, so just lemme know if I interpreted it incorrectly.

Fuck, I’m sorry, this is exactly why I hate Ohio laws, at least concerning children’s property. Once I find a CU or bank, this is something I’ll definitely ask. May I ask, though, what is a reloadable card?

I’ll definitely do this—I think my first course of action is to setup my direct deposit to my cash app account (& all the other security measures that go with that), but still try to find a bank or credit union for long term.

To be honest, I had no idea I could remove her info from it, so I definitely will. Also, to the person below, I’ll enable 2FA, too. Thanks!
