Same here. One time a Simple rep made a comment about how they liked my employer. While the comment itself was innocuous, I expected them to have a bit more discretion when going through my transaction history.
- throwaway092834 13y agoReally? That reaction strikes me as quite odd. Do you not chit-chat with tellers at your bank in person?
- kylec 13y agoNo, I've never chit-chatted with tellers, nor would I want to.
- throwaway092834 13y agoYou may be the odd one out then. I've spent a fair amount of time in lines at the bank and most people are quite chatty.
- Argorak 13y agoCultural behavior differs widely even between regions. Whats true at your bank could be entirely different 500 kilometers down the road.
- kylec 13y agoEven still, there's a difference between random chit-chat and the bank representative looking into your transaction history and making comments on it.
- smackfu 13y agoI do not chit-chat with my teller about items they see in my transaction history.
- throwaway092834 13y agoNeither do I, but they almost always mention my employer -- that's what we're talking about.
- tzakrajs 13y agoBut they figure out your employer by looking at your direct deposit?
- reeses 13y agoIt could be a very subtle AML tactic. BofA asked me if I remembered the name of the staff member who set up my business account prior to letting me make a wire transfer. Of course, since they can't tell you it's AML you think they're insane until you catch on and give the standard answers.
