I have a few friends working at TD and CIBC banks. Just wondering if there are certain procedures they have to take before they can access your account? One instance, my friend at TD checked my account not once but twice on my spending without my approval and brought it up during dinner.

[fliptuner]

Your "friend" is an idiot

i guess op is rich:troll:

Im sure there are records of him accessing your account if you were to file a complaint with the bank. From there he would get investigated and whatever happens there happens.

[Ludepower]

its common knowledge they can as long as they don't make it obvious.
Rather than hide from my friend. I let him take care of my banking over the phone.

That goes for medical records as well. let's not all be so naive.

[Traum]

Unless there is a very strong reason for you to continue banking with TD, I'd take my account elsewhere.

At a minimum, I'd also stop seeing this "friend".

[Inaii]

I'd also think about speaking with his supervisor. If he thinks it's okay to do that, what else is he doing?

[jdmhaze]

Your idiot friend could most definitely lose his job over that. Accessing someones account without their consent? About as unethical as it gets.

Just curious why you guys think its a guy.. could be a girl.. just saying... :pokerface:

back to topic, I would call into TD customer service and ask them if they can see who has logged into your account and when and then talk to the branch manager... or go directly to the manager and ask for those records because you fear that someone has unauthorized access to it. Or you could tell this person to stop it or you will go to his manager...

[Armind]

This is the reason why I don't bank where someone I know works there.

[hal0g0dv2]

couple years ago CIBC fired a shit ton of people for looking into peoples bank accounts with co workers, trying to find famous peoples accounts ect. All that stuff is monitored.

[jackmeister]

A friend I know was terminated for something similar (helping a customer check the account of their child or relative?) because someone else brought it up accidentally to a manager.

If that can get you fired, definitely checking on unrelated people will.

[Spoon]

Since ethics is out the door. Blackmail him/her or get them fired. :joy:

[vitaminG]

Many years ago I worked in customer service and collections for a couple banks and phone companies. You'd be amazed at the amount of info that was easily available with little or no record left of you accessing it.

I'd see phone accounts for undercover cops, celebrity and athlete bank accounts. I'd look up my friends accounts, fuck with people I didn't like.

All this responsibility in high turnover jobs where employees didn't give a shit

Friend was telling me about the balance of Starbucks at TD. Turns out they can check any account balance. :heckno:

Correcting these posts.. anyone abusing their power like that at a bank SHOULD lose their job. I'd go as far as to say that you are obligated to report it and make sure that he loses his job.

[Inaii]

Just curious why you guys think its a guy.. could be a girl.. just saying... :pokerface:.

That's true. I thought I read that it was a guy, but I just looked again and there's no gender. Most of the tellers I know are guys, so that's probably why I assumed it was a dude lol

[Rallydrv]

Having worked in IT dept at banks and healthcare organizations. Banks atm don't track who accesses(views) what account. However healthcare orgs are just implementing tracking.

[twitchyzero]

if him being nosy reduced your gambling...may be it was a necessary evil? :derp:

[MrPhreak]

If I ever found out my "friend" was checking up on my bank account (or accessing other personal information) over a dinner with them, I'd lose my shit on them

What is the deal with this anyway OP, are you guys having a money-penis comparing match where you casually make underhanded remarks over dinner to one another that got out of control?

[hud 91gt]

Ive never been a bank teller (or do I know of any), but I bet most of them at some point have looked into an account where it wasn't appropriate. The fact that he/she is telling you this... Well he/she is just fucking stupid.

Absolutely it is means for dismissal. But that doesn't mean it doesnt happen all the time. Reading these comments makes me think the world is black and white.

[Ching.Chong]

I used to work at TD, and you can hide your bank information. There is a setting for that if you ask for it. But i don't remember if it also hides your expenses, but it can hide viewing the total amount of money you have in there and all your accounts.

Edit: And to confirm, yes you can easily view accounts by looking up names, phone numbers, and view all the transactions, payments, cash, investments easily. You can easily get terminated if you get caught doing this for no particular reason, i.e if the client wasn't there, or requested.

This, everybody got special perks and power at their job. We all abused it at one point or another.

Not being able to keep his mouth shut, thats the real problem.

Be-careful OP if you get kidnap one day, you know who to blame

fucking millennials

[StylinRed]

Eh... how good a friend? if its one of my close friends i wouldn't care at all, and if it still bothers you give em shit for it, if they are a good friend then case closed, it shouldnt happen again

its not just those working in banks that have access to your info, and as mentioned if you think it doesn't go on (nosy ppl) thats pretty naive

What kind of asshole looks at a person's finances? It's one thing if it's a scammer but you don't do that to your "friends" - period.

do you think your friend opened him/her self up to breach of privacy???

[donk.]

too much crying in this thread.

welcome to reality where bankers are snoopy, cops get bribed by drug dealers, servers steal "pooled" tips, and your neighbor computer nerd knows everything you watch at 11pm.

[westopher]

Yep. Cash is king, and most people don't mind being a complete fucking piece of shit when it comes to it. Especially in this city.
If the person who was doing it was a good friend of mine, and we were razzing each other about being poor I probably wouldn't care. If it was someone who wasn't an "I can talk about anything" kind of friend, I'd have them eating their phone instead of their dinner.

A nosy bored loser with the means to? But yeah if it was a close friend I wouldn't care, in fact I have a friend who did that to me I was like :rukidding: at first but was then like meh

[MarkyMark]

I wouldn't be cool with even my best friend looking that shit up, and I've known him since kindergarten. Would you be cool if they had access to your phone and all your texts and emails too? Maybe some friends do have an open book relationship where anything goes, but unless you've gotten consent from them it's kind of a dick move.

[fliptuner]

As far as I'm concerned, it's like one of your friends coming over and opening your mail. I'm pretty surprised some of you would let it slide.

[Presto]

I wouldn't want to be friends with people that would purposely invade my privacy. They're the same fuckers that would blab details to anyone that'll listen their gossip. This isn't high school, anymore. I hope they all get fired.

[Gnomes]

This is as if your friend pick locks your house, rummage through your bedroom, and openly talks about your dirty laundry over dinner. Twice.

[AzNightmare]

Absolutely unethical. It's against work policy.

I'll be honest, I've secretly looked up some people on the public sector website to see how much they make just cause of curiosity, but I would never bring it up to them nor question about it. I would just pretend I don't know and be butthurt why they make so much more than me. Lol

But yeah, that's a public website. Complete different from looking into someone's bank account and question their spending... Wtf

That's a whole different matter altogether. AFAIK, public servants with salaries greater than $100k are required to have their compensations declared and made available to the public. The same goes for any of our medical practitioners -- if I want to find out, I can see exactly how much my GP has been paid by the government; I can see how much my prof at university made (if they meet the required salary level). It's a matter of public policy and transparency. It's a form of check and balance built into the system (even though it doesn't really work).

But abusing work privileges to gain access to private and confidential information is a completely different matter.

75k

All my bosses are on it haha. It's fun to check every now and then especially when there's some people I know of who flat out lie saying they make 100k+ a year. Look them up and they don't even show on the list haha

exactly my thought.... i mean really? i think curiosity is just human nature... it is talking about it/sharing it... that is where the shit goes down hill...
