Early resolved case summary #10: Bank improves its credit card account verification practices after challenge from customer - February 20, 2014
A bank
An individual complained that her bank required her to provide the last six digits of her Social Insurance Number (SIN) to set up a verified credit account for online purchases. The complainant believed this collection was unnecessary and sought an alternative. The bank initially maintained its practice but, after being informed of a similar OPC finding regarding transparency, discontinued the practice and updated its website to remove this authentication method. The complaint was resolved.
