Would you have a family member Fired if they checked into your bank account?

I would tell her it is none of her business. I would tell her if she keeps up i would go to her supervisor. Because it is none of her business what you are doing with your money. And why is she invaded ur account. I think you should tell the supervisor to have a talk with her because that is not her business unless you told her too. To me no family member should be doing that.

I think if someone were doing this to me I would definitely confront them. Bank records are serious things, and working at a bank is a major responsibility. Your sister isn't honoring your privacy, she's breaking serious laws, and something needs to be done about her! I feel really strongly about this because I work in a bank myself! If my coworkers were doing this sort of thing to their friends or family members, I would seriously want something done about it! There's simply no excuse for using official bank records for snooping! Perhaps you should confront her about the situation before you actually tell on her though. Let her know that it makes you very uncomfortable for her to snoop in this way, and that you feel she is abusing her position. If she still doesn't cut it out, then yes, I would report her to her boss.

That is a severe breach of your privacy. I would go in and cancel my bank accounts and transfer everything to another bank. And make sure you tell them why you are going somewhere else, because they cannot keep your private details private! Good luck.

I think I would feel like my trust in her was broken. I would definetly confront her and let her know that you do not want her looking into your bank accounts. I'm not sure if that would stop her or not though. I probably wouldn't try to get her fired, because she is my sister. But I think you have to say something to her so she knows that you don't appreciate her being so nosey. I wonder how she would feel if someone was looking into her accounts.

First, I would go to her and tell her that unless it was for work or my request she shouldn't look at my account. If it continued I would warn her that I'll tell her supervisor. If that wouldn't stop her then I would expect that she has some serious boundary and power issues. If you want to approach the matter in a nicer way, make a joke of it and tell her to stop looking unless she would like to put money in for you.

I probably would not get her fired but I would be very vocal with her. Your finances are not any of her business. When you work in a place and have access to public information it is very very important that you learn to keep the mouth shut. If she is doing this with others she will get caught anyway. If you are the one to bring it to the banks attention, it could cause serious family troubles...i say it is best to confront her head on!

This is a very tricky situation. Your sister should not be doing this but you could not only get her fired, if she is also breaking the law in your country as she would be doing in this country she could be in a lot of trouble too and you don't want that. Are you able to bank on line? That way you could control your account and only send over some spending money to your local branch and that would cut off your Sister's intelligence. She should not be doing this but unless you get her fired she is not going to stop. Maybe she is trying to help you to manage money but it is just undermining your confidence and your rights. I would definitely check out the on line situation and if you need a bank reference I would arrange an appointment with one of the managers at your local branch - when your sister is not there.

We had a family member who checked out people's accounts and would blab about them whenever she could. When she tried to tell me about someone that we knew I told her that she was violating many laws and could be fined heavily if the authorities were to find out. I doubt she ever stopped her actions. She is just that type of person. I refused to use the bank that employed her.

well, i wouldnt have my accounts where my family had access to them. but, if i did, i think i would contact the supervisor and disceetly mention that she did this. it is against the law to look up your accounts without your permission, and unless she had reason to, then it was inappropriate, and reason for dismissal.

I would definitely be unhappy about this. She shouldn't do it to you. She needs to respect your privacy. I hope you can put a stop to this.

This is hard as if the town is that small then I guess jobs would not be easy to come by so getting your sister sacked might be a real bad thing to do. I could not do that to my sister. However if my sister was looking into my private affairs like this I would go mad at her. Is there no way you can bank in another towm and do your main banking online, could you not just catch a bus to get to another bank. Even if your sis said she wouldn't check any more you couldn't trust her as she probably just wouldn't tell you any more but still do it. Poor you I would be unable to let it go and would find it hard to forgive, it is worse than opening somoeones post.

That's just wrong!!! I mean, who's to say she isn't taking things OUT of your account. (I'm assuming she isn't, but what's to keep her from doing that?? It's just a simple transfer, right?) Definately ask her why she thinks it's her business to snoop into your affairs. You don't watch through her bedroom window at night do you? (You don't, do you?? :P) It's the same kind of invasion. I know what it's like to be in a small town, and everyone was in everyone else's business. This is just something that shouldn't be anyone else's business. Explain to her that if she doesn't stop, you WILL tell her supervisor, and you WILL pull out any banking that you do with that bank. (Again, I know that this will be tough, but being a small town bank, it just may work!) Best wishes to your Feona! Good luck!

I would be surprised if it was just your account she was looking at. You have an obligation to confront her as she is your sister. If it comes out from someone else that she's looking at their accounts you will be implimented too. If nothing happens take the money out. Its yours youv'e earned it. You have an obligation to spend it how you wish.

Well if you were a litte closer to me, I'd suggest a few banks based in Pittsburgh! But in todays day and age, you can do so much with internet based banking that you don't have to be local for most transactions. My main bank account is in my old hometown in the San Francisco Bay. My paycheck is all direct deposit, I do electroinic bill pay for everything! The only issue is if someone writes me a check, I do have to mail it to the bank. Immigrant Direct and ING seem to have some good facilities, but heck, maybe a PNC or a Citizens Bank account might be better for your privacy.

It all depends on how you relate with your Sister-I see nothing absolutely wrong with my sibling checking out my account in a bank she works. problem only comes if she does that in bad faith and with some degree of demeaning arrogance.

Thats quite irritating. I can't allow anyone including my family members or parents to check into my account.

OH MY!!! I work in the health care field and we have laws about getting into people's records and such! Your sister knows better, I 'm sure the bank talked to her about privacy as she took the job. She really doesn't deserve to work at the bank if she has no more respect for people's privacy! Even if she ceases to talk to you about your finances, I'm sure she will still continue to monitor your finances. (and likely those of others!) I really feel that you should speak to the bank...even if it means her losing the job. She doesn't deserve the job.

People who work in banks are trusted with private information. This is not good for her to do. If you asked her to look, maybe. It is really none of her business. I would have to speak to the manager or her supervisor. This could be a violation of bank policy. How a bank customer spends their money is not the business of an employee, even if it is your sister.

I used to work at a bank and this is a big "no-no." The only time she should be accessing your account is by your express request. However, when you are asking her to look at your account it is okay for her to use it as a queue to offer other bank services. For instance, "I notice that you have this sort of account, but I think this account will fill your needs better." That is part of the customer service they should be offering you. However, asking how and why you spend (or save, for that matter) your money is wrong. If I were you, I would gently remind her about the bank's policy or even just ask her not to look at your account like that. You might want to say something like "I appreciate you looking out for me, but in the end the choices I make with my money is exactly that, my choice." If this does not stop the problem, then it could be something you could talk to the bank manager about. If you are worried about getting her in trouble (because if you report her, she will probably be able to know that it's you) there are other banking options. If moving your money to another local bank is not an option, then you could look into perhaps using online banking.

Thats horrible. But you have two choices. The first is telling your sister to STOP looking at your account because its a breach of privacy, but that will cause a rift into your family. Or just move accounts to another bank that she does not work at and if she asks why. Tell her you did not feel comfortable at that bank any longer. And leave it at that.
