"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Guys are we really at the whim of just two unregulated private corporations?
Don't credit unions have desktop sites? Can't you use an e-mail for authentication?

So the same operation is 2mins on the app, or 10mins driving to the nearest branch (YMMV), 20mins waiting in line (YMMV), 5mins to get it done, 10mins to go back.
Oh, you also have the option to wait for 1h on the phone...
My credit union recently went to the no tellers in the branch option. They have remote tellers i fucking hate it. And they closed down the drive through. It fucking sucks
It's not, but it's much easier than visiting a branch or spending hours waiting on the phone to speak to someone who doesn't have great English.
Or you could just bank from a web browser on a cheap laptop. Or use a cheap burner phone for banking only, separate from your everyday phone.

Hmm yeah fair point.
I see only one solution:
