How are you going to boycott Wells Fargo? If you do not use them , they just open an account in your name anyway.

Thanks for the input AP!
I have a friend that says he's getting 1.5 on his checking saving from some online bank.

Whenever I go into a branch office of Wells Fargo, they are so courteous and sweet. The remind me of the aliens in the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man", where the book turns out to be a cook book.

There’s plenty of banks. Credit unions tend to be more sensitive to your needs, but technologically behind big banks.

lol great comments all!

You may have missed it, but identity theft and banking fraud are huge problems compared to 20 years ago. Last year there was a sea change of credit card and banking rules. Not sure what the problem is if she is a signer on the account in question. From the information given it sounds like general tight security policy, not some vast program to destroy the nuclear family.

Absent better proof, this has the same gravitas as the "War against Christmas" trope.

Wells Fargo and even more BofA are ass-sucking banks that don't deserve your business. I'm very happy with a strong regional bank; without this option I'd be more active in my credit union.

Here is what you can do

1-Move to ca
2-Tell them you are gay and black, and it’s discrimination. Throw in words that sjw use as mating call “micro aggression “.
3-Post it on Twitter
4-Liberals will smash bank in outrage.
5-bank will panic and fix anything you ask.

Yes but when they have to call Corporate they are treated to the same bullshit the customers are subjected to.
The same lame auto assistant and everything.

Bank just needs your account number and match it with your SS#, your account get's hacked.
They ask you to create and use a personal Pin number. you account gets hacked again.
Bank says they need personal information about you to identify you better, peculiar they ask for great Lead Qualifier questions for the security question.
Your account gets hacked still. They ask you public information questions.
This last time told me about another layer of password nonsense. Sounds like to me, they are trying to qualify leads and conflate it with a security layer.
But then each time they sell all of your security as leads about you. Anyone that bought a lead from them can call them up and answer all of the security questions.
It's insane I don't abide by silly security rules.
The thing that troubles me to no end, is my wife is on my bank account. If she had an account set up and had to give a 50 personal questions to manage her account that would show her the same exact thing I see on my account anyway. Then there would just be two ways to hack our bank.

Why does she need access to the bank account anyway, if she is properly chained to the radiator and stove at home. You can release her for routing shopping with a pre-paid credit card, and a GPS shock collar that you can use with a cell phone app to shock her home if she is taking too long.

Gave up on Wells Fargo and all banks years ago. Have been using exclusively credit unions for more than a decade.
