I closed my accounts with Chase and Citi because I kept getting locked out of my accounts for suspicious activity. Disabling PIA VPN helped but I never could figure out what else about me trying to avoid being tracked looked suspicious.

Apparently they take a 'only criminals would clear cookies' approach.



I use very aggressive privacy protections and have never been locked out of Chase or Citi. I've had a lot of trouble logging in though.


Maybe you're mistaking that for "only criminals would use a VPN [to disguise the true origin of their web requests]" approach.

Still not an absolute one should be unequivocally confident in, but risk management types for a major bank... probably don't care.


Then we simply decline to do business with them. Either they learn to care... or we don't care anyways, because they're no longer our problem.
