Yep. (By the way, I actually have cash in my wallet for the first time since early September. But counting it is always fun.)
Did you just wish a hacking on my bank account??!!!????!!!!Yep. (By the way, I actually have cash in my wallet for the first time since early September. But counting it is always fun.)
FWIW, I don’t use financial apps on my phone, as there are too many cases of thieves or hackers conning cellular employees to reset PINs, passwords, etc. There’s a lot that can be learned with full access to someone else’s cell phone with their email and whatnot.
I’m not even happy about 2factor authentication using SMS texts for the same reasons as above. But since both my brokerage and retirement accounts use texts (or email) to send the code, I try to minimize risk elsewhere. Including not accessing my financial accounts from my phone.
Nothing is perfect, but maybe if I make it difficult enough for a bad guy, they’ll leave me alone and bother someone else.

it's still more secure than giving a number over the phone or handing your card to a waiter to pay. These are faxYep. (By the way, I actually have cash in my wallet for the first time since early September. But counting it is always fun.)

The difference being that if someone runs up charges on my CC without my permission, I don’t have to pay, or I get reimbursed if I already have.it's still more secure than giving a number over the phone or handing your card to a waiter to pay. These are fax
I can see every transaction in real time on my bank account online. If I pay for a cup of coffee at the gas station with my debit card I can see the transaction immediately. Are you talking about balancing your checkbook the old fashioned way?And if something goes wrong with a payment? Posts late, still hasn’t hit when you check your balance, and the bank says you have more than you actually do?
I don’t trust others to care as much about my money as I do.
I don’t use debit cards. I’ve had an account pretty much frozen after a cardreader was used to hit a checking account. Every purchase is made with a rewards credit card.I can see every transaction in real time on my bank account online.
