My bank is changing names and I feel like I should request 5 identity documents and a name change certificate from deed poll before its permitted

@xssfox Don't forget to use their old name for the rest of their existence, because "Getting used to a new name is hard"

@xssfox
One time I went into a bank because they messed up my address change and they had messed up their own address change, all the paperwork they generated for me had the wrong (old) address for the branch

[yakmoose@cloudisland.nz]

@xssfox and dead name them when you call …

[shtrom@piaille.fr]

@xssfox You could just be “Michaela trading as XSSFox”

[thepi@urusai.social]

@xssfox Start using their old name again at random every 3-15 months, just in case they idk realised rebranding was an affront to god or something.

@xssfox A utility bill for every branch

[khoos@infosec.exchange]

@xssfox schedule a meeting with them to assess their reasons for a name change and whether they might regret this in the future!

[katievm@blahaj.zone]

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz "Are you changing your name to evade taxes, debts, or criminal prosecution?"

[nak@infosec.exchange]

@xssfox @davep if corporations are people then shouldn’t they have to use the name on their birth certificate

[autumn@social.translunar.academy]

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz They should also have to publish the name change request three times in a newspaper, just in case they are trying to illegally escape a debt.

[jscybersec@infosec.exchange]

@xssfox what was your bank name at birth? What's in your bank pants?

[kc@social.coop]

@xssfox don’t forget to reject it at least three times for no apparent reason and make them wait on a customer service line for three hours

[aperture@snug.moe]

@xssfox yea, im gonna need to see that banks court order before i start calling it its new name

@xssfox Five years from now you should start calling them the old name randomly again "because our computer system changed and I guess the old data came back somehow"

[morgant@mastodon.social]

@xssfox @mwl Don't forget to send a text to their mobile number for verification first too! And as many times as you feel like it in between.

Wuddaya mean they don't have a mobile phone? Who doesn't have a mobile phone these days?! Surely **a bank** can afford a mobile phone!
