Chase and Fidelity are my primary online accounts. Chase is extremely secure.

I’m with Chase but that doesn’t make any difference. I’ve had my Credit Cards broken in to about 4 times, the last time about 1 1/2 yrs. ago & I have to admit they took care of it every time, no problems. So to answer your question, NO problems! But I’m sure some people will disagree with me. All I can say is if the bank you’re with doesn’t do anything to help you, well I would look for another bank.

Thanks for all those that took the time and answered my on-line banking questions.

Is there a Vanguard office around TV?

No. Vanguard mostly does business online and by phone.

They are headquartered near in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and have regional offices in Charlotte, North Carolina and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Online banking is extremely unsafe. There is a thing called porting where they steal your phone number and then get into everything you have. The cops are helpless due to the volume of these types of instances

I have been tempted by the higher rates of these non brick and mortar financial 'places', but I've resisted. Still prefer institutions that can be visited if there's an issue even though that's yet to be necessary!

where is Fidelity's bank?

I don't know what you mean by "Fidelity's Bank". Fidelity Investments is an investment and brokerage company, not a bank. They have an office at 1057 Lake Sumter Landing.

I'm the same way.
Although I'm do a lot on my computer, but taking $5,000 - $10,000 and investing on line
just seems weird.

There has been some mention here of credit card hacks. Someone ‘stealing’ your credit card number almost never occurs because the issuing bank has been hacked. It’s almost always someplace where you used the card to buy something where your card info was stolen. That would include you yourself responding to increasingly effective and official-looking e-mails asking you for personal financial information.

But it’s the issuing bank who has extensive security operations which almost always catches the fraudulent attempt to use your card, cancels the card, refunds any fraudulent charges, and issues a new card. That’s happened to me 3-4 times. It’s an irritant reassigning a new number to your AutoPay bills, but very safe financially.

I’d suggest that getting credit cards issued by the largest banks—Chase, Bank of America, etc. is the safest because they have the largest and most well-developed anti-fraud operations.

Driving a car is also extremely unsafe. There are things called crashes, and the cops are helpless due to the volume of these types of instances.
But almost all journeys are completed without a problem!:icon_wink:

Disagree that online banking is 'extremely' unsafe, If you are worried about porting contact your carrier & find out about the security around a port out request. If you are unhappy with the answers, then I would suggest looking for a new carrier that meets your needs.
