facebook wants bank info
« on: August 10, 2018, 07:23:31 am »
"Mark Zuckerberg wants to know how much is in your bank account. The tech mogul’s Facebook has been quietly lobbying some of the biggest US banks to sign partnerships that would have the financial institutions share customer data — including account balances and recent purchases." (New York Post)

What do you think? Should Facebook be allowed to have access to their customer's bank accounts?

Of course not. However, there's not a lot of control over things like that. Seems like you can be hacked if someone desires to hack you.

I would really like it if there was some way you could really protect yourself, but if you're a target; you're kind of more or less defenseless. :monkey:

I'm very protective of any place I keep money. I don't have a lot, only what I make here and on another 2 sites. I doubt I would ever lose the money though, since hackers would take one look at the balances and laugh their heads off. :)  It wouldn't be worth the trouble to them.

This is very personal information and no one has the right gain this information.  If companies start doing this I will for sure boycott their brand.

Other than my husband and myself the only other people who should know what is in my bank account are my bank assistants.  Sometimes I don't even like it when they know my account balance. 

What is the motive behind this?  Is he crazy or am I missing something?   ???

So what if FB had a record drop in stocks a couple of weeks ago.  I don't feel one bit sorry for Zucher.  That 'loss' probably had little to no affect on his pocket book. 

This guy makes no sense to me at all.   :bad:

There's not a single reason for Facebook to have my bank info.

It's non of their business what is in your bank account, they can't make a person give them that information.

I'm more than happy to share that information with Mark Zuckerberg if he compensates me for it (and if he shares his personal bank information with everyone on Facebook).

This is crazy.  Just another reason for me not to use FB.

Sounds like fake news hopefully it is. No one would be willing to give  that info.

If this is accurate, to quote old comedy routines about mothers,"I don't think so."

Facebook should absolutely not be allowed to have that type of access. That is just ludicrous that any banking institution would entertain that idea.
