Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Bank of America’s ID requirement for cash deposits is not new, but it’s still a “thing.” The bank’s policy is to prevent fraud and money laundering, but some customers find it inconvenient. The TikToker’s video sparked a debate, with some commenters supporting the bank’s policy and others questioning its necessity. The bank’s response? “We have to do our job.”
The tellers are just following the rules, but the customer is still frustrated. He thinks the policy is “ridiculous” and wants to “inspire change.” But for now, the ID requirement remains in place.
Bank of America: where security is key, but convenience is optional.
