"For security reasons" is laughable.
They want your phone number because their "advisors" blow up your phone every month or two trying to get you to use their financial services (which I'll never do). They also like telling me in the UI that I'm "not putting enough of my money" to work or some BS, just cause I like having a little nest egg.
That being said, it's a massively useful tool. I'll gladly let my Pixel spam filter their calls every couple months in return for being able to track my net worth and investments so easily.
- maxioatic 7y agoI can confirm they will blow up your phone. I went through with their sales pitch once (didn't buy) and afterwards they stopped calling. I use it in addition to Mint actually. Mint for tracking spending and PC for macro view, like net worth/investments. I recommend Personal Capital for this as well.
- technofiend 7y agoThat's what ephemeral VoIP numbers are for. For a couple of bucks and ten minutes to install and configure the software you're all good.
