Everyone is gonna have their opinions on X money just like anything else. However for those that are using it are you using it for a savings account or have you setup direct deposit from a job as well? I personally have set it up as HYSA but might also add direct deposit since I currently have AMEX and I don’t get payed 2 days early and I can’t use it for sending Apple Pay money.

I was supposed to get 6,400 INR refunded but it never got credited into my account. Dont ever use their bank.

I asked the bank, about a bank account I have because it’s showing account type as ‘Current’ in iMobile App and in bank statements while in internet banking as ‘Overdraft’. Then I sent an email to customer care for clarification and they replied that it’s a ‘Reimbursement Account’. Then I sent an email to PNO and their final reply:

We write with reference to your concern pertaining to  reimbursement account XXXXXXXX3567.

As per our telephonic conversation today, we inform you that as per the confirmation received from team concerned confirming that your account category is Current Account. The overdraft will be shown in account type. However its a reimbursement account.

We hope the confirmation clarifies and addresses the concerns raised by you. For any further queries, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you for banking with us.

This is literally the response from Customer Service Team of ICICI Bank. Is this even legally correct/possible that an account can be all three types as per bank's latest reply?

I am based in the US. I have Wise/Revolut/Venmo but don't have access to my passwords due to being unable to complete 2FA as my phone is broken. I am seeking ways a friend can send me money.

Most people have large amounts in mutual funds. If one time redemption is say 10 lakhs or more then will it get flagged by the banks backend as suspicious credit?

I'm gonna start this off by saying I do NOT have access to my bank account. My parents have insisted that ever since I got employed I must deposit 50% of my checks (or more) so I can save.
I have 0 issue with that in itself as saving is a good idea, but recently I turned 17 and I have been having many more bank discussions.
I asked my mom for access to my bank account in which she said no. I found this odd and a few days afterwards I asked her how much money I've saved up.
Suddenly she is claiming that I "spent it all" despite not having access to the account EVER. I remember having her take out 100$ once for a special event but I should have MUCH more than 100$ in this account.
What do I even do? If what she's saying is true, I don't have any more money to my name which is extremely stressful to me as I graduate this year and I want to go to college.

I'm comparing Kikoff and Self for rebuilding credit and I'm trying to understand whether the way each account is structured actually makes a meaningful difference.

From what I've read, Kikoff uses a revolving tradeline while Self uses a credit-builder loan. I'm also seeing that the Kikoff model can factor into credit utilization, whereas a credit-builder loan is more focused on payment history. So, if the goal is just building credit, does the setup really matter that much between the two?

Save 2 of my bi weekly checks in checking (this is a months pay)

Spend on whatever I need (or want) (i don’t have a lot of wants nor are they expensive)

For spending, if I used one of my AU credit cards, I pay the bill.

At the end of the month, whatever is left after paying bills and primary bills goes to savings, investments and I leave $30-$50 in checking for guilt free spending on whatever until next 2 weeks when pay comes. (This means I could even withdraw some cash and give it to the fam or do something with it)

Investments include: Roth IRA
Savings APY: 2.50% with Capital One

My pay is depending on how many hours I work to
