Just where the fuck will people do their banking without FDIC?
I saw that asshat Andreesen lying his fucking ass off on Rogan about how the poor little tweedums on the right were being "debanked" because of "free speech", but not anyone else.
Meanwhile, what the hell would you call something like this?
The right has people within it that are just so insane that I really do think some would withdrawal their money from the bank, and set all their own cash on fire if they thought it would pwn teh libz.
A MAGAt would eat his own shit if he knew a WoKe LibRuL would have to smell it
Exactly this.
Credit unions use the NCUA instead of FDIC. So if they don't go after that as well there are still some options.
Places like cash app and venmo... where you can have predation turned up to 11.
Exactly. Maybe that's the cui bono here - some asshole in donvict's circle stands to gain a lot of money. I hate the overuse of those apps, by the way. People always telling me to venmo them. I often try to just hand them cash. I hate having some middle man take 3% just to move some bits; absurd.
Uhh, you can use Venmo without losing money. It only costs extra if you use the instant withdrawal functionality. Just wait the 2-3 days to get your money.
That said, I'd rather get cash as well. I don't like Venmo but sometimes it's the much easier way. Such as when people live in other states.
How do you move money in and out of Venmo without any fees? I get a 3% fee if I transfer from credit card. I see you can deposit a check and pay 1%.
I just transfer from/to a bank account. That's free.
The way you're doing it is basically having them spot you the money until your payment clears. There is a risk, and they charge for that.
Why put it on some other place that can steal your money with no repercussions?
Because people do it already.
I would just avoid ALL US banks. Canada has CDIC and our future Trumpian PM hasn't been paid yet to kill it.
US stores don't care where the money comes from so that could be an option.
Offshore banking: no longer just for the rich!
Canada and the US share a couple shores, so it’s ok
Do y'all have any banks that hold USD? Or are you recommending that I convert my life savings to CAD and transfer to a Canadian bank with CDIC?
Most banks do have USD accounts. How they work or if they are CDIC protected or not, I have no clue
Got a recommendation? Are your banks as bad as your telecom companies?
Any banks without monthly fees for inactive accounts? Credit unions? Non profits?
You'd have to do all that legwork yourself.
I never needed to do this and you seem to a better handle on this than me.
I googled it and seems like I basically need a Canadian tax number unless I get a 0% interest account. Doesn't seem like an easy option for US Americans.
Maybe I can get a temp 1 month job one day in Vancouver or something..
We should start this rumor. It'll totally own me. I'll be so subservient if they burn all their money. 😉
