It gets worse. Banks now require pictures of faces to fucking close the account and pull the money out.

You find it to be a negative that banks require identity verification to drain an account? Personally, I would refuse to keep my money with a bank that doesn’t do this.

The relationship was established decades ago and they accept money and direct deposit still with no KYC.

But to get the money out? Oh no! We need a picture of your face! And there’s no option for going in person.

Unauthorized deposits aren't nearly as much of a concern as unauthorized withdrawals, right? I'd imagine that there are far fewer malicious actors that try to deposit money into random bank accounts than there are ones that try to withdraw money from random bank accounts. > And there’s no option for going in person. Won't an in-person bank also take pictures of you via security cameras? I don't really understand your objection here, could you elaborate?

most banks using faceid won't accept you go to a branch. because they contract with a provider who makes more money from building and selling a database than to fulfilling the contract with the banks.
