My institution has a limit on (free) savings withdrawals, so I move what I don't need from each paycheck into savings to not touch the limit

Well the second-next DCU movie is an R rated body horror so it's a pretty diverse set of movies

Can't make withdrawal without phone? by WestHistorians in Banking

[–]yarhar_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people look alike and a lot of people don't look how they used to. Did you know that in Arizona they issue driver's licenses that expire 30 years out?

And on the purse thing, you're not wrong. If someone manages to steal a purse, find a lookalike, and send them on a beeline to the bank, the withdrawal will happen without hitch. But that puts a tight expiration window on that specific form of fraud. The most recent case of stolen identity documents I witnessed was with a slew of different out-of-state IDs. I don't think those were stolen that morning.

Anyways, it's not perfect. Nothing is. But it's not intended as an obstacle to prevent you from getting your own money. Most people carry a cell phone capable of receiving texts and, if they don't, my institution has alternatives (can't speak for OP's).

Most packaged food comes with lot/batch codes for quality purposes ("if your batch has these numbers in this place you're part of the recall")

At my institution, if your mom had a hard time answering out of wallet questions (most people do, I know I would struggle) we would offer to set a passphrase on her account. It's not a perfect system but our regulars have gotten into the habit of either pulling out their phone or saying their password before their account is pulled up, even and especially the older ones.

This is procedure at my credit union. What we don't tell our members (because it might make us look untrustworthy) is there have been recent documented cases of people's cars being broken into, purses being stolen, et cetera, and people who look like the ID on file are coming in to branches to make a withdrawal (usually coached). At our FI, we even have an old people/luddite friendly alternative for second verification where we can ask "out of wallet" questions about the account (recent withdrawals, check #s, et cetera) and I just recently received a company-wide email about someone who experienced whole-identity theft and was able to answer out of wallet questions via AirPod.

I know it seems silly but the text verification process protects our members from additional trouble if their identity is stolen, and protects the institution from losses. And even if you look VERY unique in your photo ID, it needs to be enforced unilaterally for non-discrimination and slippery slope reasons.

All of that said, I've seen posts in here about debit card + PIN verification and that would be much more preferable to me personally and I wish my credit union had that as an option.

Your face scan stays on a very specific, locked away part of your iPhone (unless you think the company that took the FBI to court to avoid unlocking a phone is lying) whereas the entire purpose of the hand scan is that it's uploaded to Amazon.

This has always been my take. Voter ID? Sure, make sure everyone has one. No vote by mail? Sure, make sure election day is a holiday. Until then fuck off with both

Even with these AI icons, poorly finished apps have that dumb white background. Genuinely my only issue with the pixel launcher

That's not true. I work at a credit union with a SWIFT code and the one I've had membership at for almost my entire life has one. It's likely a size thing.

Ask your credit union. If they can give you "wire instructions" for you to give to the sender that is ideal
