conversation: User (Vaerr): "So after I graduated high school I got a job and opened my first bank account. It's in my name only, my parents have no connection to it whatsoever. At my first job I wasn't making much nor getting many hours so I switched jobs and started working 40 hours a week, making a bit more. I still live at home so most of my earnings have went into my investment portfolio which has accrued around 10-20&amp;#37; on top of my savings.\n\nThe problem currently is that supposedly my parents know someone who works at the bank who is telling them how much I'm making/transferring. Whenever I move money from my brokerage to my bank account I can be sure my parents will ask, "how did you get $x,xxx?" Honestly this isn't too concerning. I'm not doing anything illegal, and I like to keep them guessing. The only part that angers me is that I did not give anyone permission to see this information. Am I wrong to assume that this somehow goes against the banks customer privacy policy?\n\nEdit: As people have noted there are many ways they could be seeing my transactions. A popular answer is paper statements, but I have them completely off. Though there are still a plethora of ways which are entirely possible.\n\nAs for why I don't ask them how they know what I'm doing on my bank account. They flat out told me they are getting their information from a bank teller. They said they are notified of large transaction amounts. I am the one suspicious of this, because as many people have stated this is highly illegal. However, even if this is the case I don't want to jeopardize anything over this. I'm honestly not the type to go to the bank and make a big fuss, even though it does anger me. I'm sure everyone involved just wants to do what's best. I'll just switch banks and forget about it. Thanks all! "
