What’s a good bank to use where your card doesn’t get compromised or atleast not often?

If your card is getting compromised on a regular basis it just may be a "you" problem and not a bank problem. Try not using your card at risky places or unknown websites. Take a better look at your habits that can lead to a security breach.

My advice is to always assume it’s a possibility. Know how to turn off the card and have emergency money in a completely different banking account. Nowhere is immune to compromise.

If your card is being compromised often, it’s more likely where you’re using your card. Are you using it online a lot, or in open WiFi such as an airport or coffee shop?

No someone hacked into my Apple account and used my card on there . While the tap feature is convenient it seems to be open to fraud a lot too.

There’s no good reason to ever use your debit card. Stick with credit cards as they have fraud protection. Never click links in emails, manually go to the webpage in your browser.

Treat any messages you receive with URGENCY or about MONEY (either in your favor or not) as scams.

A credit union has the most security. Any nearby credit union. I’ve never had money in a bank, always a credit union. Car loans, mortgage, the works. They even offer financial services if you need that.

VP1 you’re wasting your time. Somehow a rumor got started that small depositors are at risk of losing everything if they’re at a big bank. I think it started with some guy telling people to split your deposits amongst banks so that none are above the FDIC limit. I’ve talked to plenty of people who have no risk of being above $250k in deposits that think they have to flee the big banks for safety at a small bank and none can explain it. They just make things up like the thread above.

There is no such bank. Lock your credit and go about your day.

That’s why I love my capital one credit cards. I can use virtual numbers online so that my actual account numbers can’t be used across platforms.

So I used to have C1 360 debit as well until recently. They just forced a change from MC to Discover and I can’t use discover with Venmo, so I changed to a credit union for all of my in-person banking.

Tbf, I use credit cards for all purchases, and then pay the card from my bank account. It adds an extra layer of protection on any purchases, and C1 (for their credit cards) has a really good policy for any fraud, the need to use charge backs, etc.

The only thing I use my bank account for is to pay rent (it has an insane credit card fee) and other expenses that require ACH (car payments, credit card payments, etc.)

Compromised cards is a you problem.

Ok thanks !

Use a card with a low limit for risky purchases. Or use one time use card numbers (bank offer this to obscure your card number). Privacy dot com or something similar has good tips.

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
