All my bank accounts (UK) have some variant of "Never share this code with anyone, not even us." appended or prepended whenever they send a verification code. It's so universal I assume this is mandated by law. I'm guessing this isn't the case in the states?
- EGreg 4y agoThat is not going to cut it Because people just get used to this being boilerplate and anyway services such as Plaid “override” that, so why wouldn’t “the bank’s own employees” do it? No, we need exactly what I said above
- r_hoods_ghost 4y agoMine do that as well. I.E they also say use xxxx to log in to online banking. Or use xxx to approve this transaction / new payee / standing order.
- akkartik 4y agoCan you elaborate on the "override"?
- EGreg 4y agoPeople think "yeah, the text message SAYS not to give it to anyone, but they say it all the time and this is Plaid, I mean come on, it's Plaid, I can trust them, right?" and they think that even more for a Bank Employee (TM) Everyone should have a policy of never giving out personal info or confirming any digits until they HANG UP AND CALL BACK on the corporate number to discuss any issue.
