I got a new checking account with a bank (whose name I won't mention right now) I signed up at the end of the day, so it was rushed. So I call them about a week later about something ... and they start asking me strange personal questions. Like ... what's my daughter's name and her age? It's not like she's going to be using the account, this woman already knows my daughter is a toddler. So I told her it was none of her business. And then she tells me if I hadn't signed up at the last minute they would have asked me all this to begin with, and I don't have to tell them now but I should expect them to ask me that, and other personal questions each time I communicate with them, because they're supposed to have that info. Is that crazy, or is it me? This is the first bank account I've had since before 911, so I don't know what's because of the Patriot Act. But this seems to be too much.
