I have to say... I'm not at all surprised about Simplii financial's hacking...
I had a PC Financial bank account... and then PC Financial decided to merge their points program with Shopper Drug Mart for some reason... and then I started getting calls from Simplii financial asking me to verify my identity and let's setup my new online bank account...
"What?" is all I could think...
I had never heard of Simplii financial before... nor was I aware that PC was dissolving/selling their banking arm...
I logged into the account once, transferred all of my money out of that account, and logged out forever...
The reason I say that I am not surprised that Simplii financial was hacked is because it is hardly even a Bank imho... it was an afterthought.
- giarc 8y agoThey merged points because Loblaws bought Shoppers Drug Mart. Simplii isn't "hardly a bank". It's a bank powered by the same software as CIBC. It's like the Koodo of Telus.
- flyGuyOnTheSly 8y agoI assumed that because I had never heard of them before... that they were just a new name for the old PC Financial banking brand but I could be wrong.
- ageektrapped 8y agoLoblaws sold their interest in PC Financial last year sometime. CIBC took it over.
