The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation #FDIC is an independent agency created by the #Congress to maintain #stability and public confidence in the nation's #financial system. We have no more independent agencies. #DOGE invaded the #FDIC today and will be applying their atrocious #AI to plunder one of the last remaining secure #bank data and #statistics repositories. “The FDIC is a prudential #regulator, meaning for some banks it is the primary regulator enforcing all the capital requirements"
Stelle Dein #Girokonto niemals für Dritte zur Verfügung! Du kannst Dich schnell strafbar machen.
Die Verbraucherzentralen warnen vor nur scheinbar lukrativen (Stellen-) Angeboten für Finanztransaktionen über das eigene #Konto bei einer #Bank oder #Sparkasse.
Versprochen wird oft eine hohe Provision und/oder Festbetrag pro Transaktion/#Überweisung.
Dahinter stehen Kriminelle! Du kannst wegen #Geldwäsche oder nicht erlaubter Erbringung von Zahlungsdiensten bestraft werden und Schadenersatz leisten müssen.
Also Finger weg von solchen Angeboten, egal wo sie Dir begegnen!

Continued thread
Specifically, #ToddBlanche said the #Justice Dept will largely not bring cases that violate the #Bank Secrecy Act or contain unregistered #broker dealer violations & other registry requirements under the #Commodity #Exchange Act.
The memo said the National #Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team would be disbanded effective immediately.

The thing that happens is, I create a new unique address for a business I'm dealing with. I put the company's name in the local-part of the email address I give them (that's the part before the "@" symbol in an email address).
And then they contact me demanding to know why (or how) I'm using "their" email. They see their company name or domain name in the local-part of my address and get incensed, thinking it's impossible, or illegal even. It makes no sense; would the greeting card mafia have a case against a big webmail provider if one of their users created the "hallmark@BigWebmailProviderDomain" address?
On more than one occasion, I have picked up the phone to find someone YELLING at me about "hacking their server" because of this.
I spend some time explaining it to them. Half the time, they kinda/sorta get it and calm down. The other half refuse to even stop yelling and think about what I'm telling them.
And this isn't some random one-person business I'm dealing with. Today, it was *my bank* that called me to demand to know why my support request email address had "their email" in it.
You would hope a bank, operating an online banking site, would have staff that have at least a passing familiarly with email and the internet. But nope.
To make it worse, this is actually the second time my bank has gotten upset about it.

#Context is everything. TLAs change and evolve.
#ATM was a robo-#bank. Now, it's this little slice of now.
#TMI used to be the setting for a #nuclear #accident. Now, it's more than you want to know.
#MCP was what some of us might call a masculine-presenting anti-#feminist. Now, it's how various flavors of #AI can tell each other #stories.
Could it be possible that Mastercard and Visa might consider leaving Europe at some point in the future?

Someone here suggested WERO, we read about it and have just activated it in our bank. It was very simple and took 2 or 3 clicks.
An all-in-one digital wallet solution:
Wero is a new European payment system designed to modernize the way we handle transactions across the continent. Launched in 2024, it aims to unify various national payment solutions into a single platform.
Wero is the brainchild of the European Payments Initiative (EPI), a consortium of 16 European banks. The initiative was born out of a need to create a sovereign and unified payment solution for Europe, reducing dependence on non-European payment systems like Visa & Mastercard.
With Wero, sending money to friends and family will be much easier because it allows you to send and receive €€ instantly using just an email address, phone number, or QR code. No more IBANS, 3 days of waiting to receive 
etc.
It's also a good alternative for Paypal 
and it is designed to replace several national payment solutions, including Giropay 
, Paylib 
, Payconiq 
and iDEAL 
which not always work cross-borders.
The roadmap is full of features to be implemented like online and in-store payment.
For the moment, it's available only in Germany, France and Belgium.
