Privacy?? What privacy?There is no such thing

Sorry my WA friends, I just have to vent.

I am not too happy with one of the 2 banks that I deal with, so I went to open a chequing and a savings account at Credit Union. As I was making appointment (in person) to get this done, they mentioned that they are going to do a CREDIT CHECK!!!! Say, what? I was only going to use this account for my pay to go into because it's in the city where I live now.

I am not asking for a loan, a mortgage, line of credit. Nothing like that. Just a simple chequing account. I use another bank for everything else. And they want to do a credit check....seriously???

Do we not constantly hear how important our privacy is??? Yeah, important for everyone to know what is private. It's just dawning on me that "your privacy is important" really means, it's important that we know all about you.

I am so peeved off, I am not going to open an account there.

Thank you for listening.
