Scotia Bank Collection of Information
I went to be added to a family member's safety deposit box at Scotia Bank today (I deal with a different FI) and the person started asking me questions like how long I've been with my current employer and what I make in monthly income. I asked the person why they needed this information for a safety deposit box and they said it was mandatory as I was becoming a Scotia Bank client. I asked if they were going to hit my credit bureau and the person said "I don't think so". I told them to go and check and they came back saying no (I wasn't convinced they knew what they were doing). I said I refuse to provide this information and didn't proceed with making the safety deposit box joint. Is this standard procedure for Scotia Bank? Seems like way too much information. I wouldn't tell them all of this even if I was opening an account. Is there someone i can make a complaint to? I'm going to have my family member pull all of their business from Scotia Bank. I'm not impressed at all.
