I confess I have a BofA account or two but they're really invasive with there so-called updating of personal details. Demanding to know which countries you're a citizen of and I've read cases where they freeze the accounts until they comply. Reading about that caused me to open a couple of credit union accounts and transition to them. My original reason for BofA was instant access to foreign currency but they don't do that at my local branches now.

I agree, and it’s why I closed my account with them (even though I only have American citizenship, I didn’t like how invasive they are, especially since no other bank asks).

I think a lot of that isn't unique to BofA, but tightened KYC regulation that they have to comply with, but I totally get what you're saying.

Except BofA is the only bank to do this. No other US bank has asked.
