I once panicked that someone was getting ready to withdraw funds from my account because I saw those two <$1.00 auth charges. I called my bank, and they panicked, and immediately created a new account, moved the money into it, and closed the other one. Like within 5 minutes.
Turns out I forgot I told a friend to reimburse me for beers we had a few weeks before that, and his payment service was verifying my account.
Online banking and all of this digital access to my monies makes me nervous as heck. Double-edged sword. (Yes, I have 2TF hard tokens on all major accounts.)
- niij 5y agoThose are called micro deposits and are only used to verify ownership of an account you own. Your friend was incorrectly setting up an external transfer account via ACH. Next time they should use a check, zelle, etc etc.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoYes, I know that. I said so.
