I switched from Gmail to Proton, but now with everything coming out about Proton I'm switching from them too. I started using Posteo which I like but a lot of my accounts having to do with money and finance (including my bank) aren't accepting the Posteo email. They have rejected it over and over and even locked me out stating that I was hacked.

Do you guys have any recommendations for email providers to use that also won't send red flags to my more official accounts?

If it helps, I'm US-based.

Financial institutions often block Posteo because their spam filters flag the provider's open relay reputation or shared infrastructure as high-risk, rather than evaluating the specific user's trustworthiness. To mitigate this without using mainstream services, consider self-hosting an email address via a reputable upstream provider or using a dedicated alias service that offers strong DKIM/SPF alignment to pass corporate gateway checks.
