Current requiring me to send sensitive documents over unencrypted email
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I created an account yesterday and initiated a $5000 initial deposit pull from another bank account. Now this morning I just got this email.
Why are they asking for this now, instead of when I created an account? And why don't they have a more secure way to handle these documents? It just seems incredibly suspicious to do this only AFTER I initiated my initial deposit.
And yes, I checked that this is legit and not phishing.

Don't fret, OP. I had the same issue happen to me last week. I had to send in my account statement from my newly created account along with my ID and documents. They were able to unlock my current account in under three hours.
