Spin Zone / Linking accounts
« on: January 15, 2020, 12:16:42 PM »
Am I crazy? I want to move money from Bank B into Bank A. When I go online, to Bank A website, it says I can link to my Bank B account and then just transfer money easily without having to mail paper checks around or drive to a branch.
Sounds easy but I'm having trouble trusting my Bank B account numbers to Bank A. On the other hand, if I go deposit a paper check, they see the account numbers anyway! And it sure would be nice not to have to leave the house to transfer money.
I just feel really weird connecting accounts like that. Even worse, our financial advisor wants us to link all our accounts to their website so he can see our "total financial picture" to better advise us. It's not a matter of not trusting the advisor, he's been with us for over 30 years, that's not the point.
In the past I never would have done this, but these days it seems the trend. It just feels really creepy to me. What do you guys think? Am I just getting too old to get with the program? Get off my lawn!
