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 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 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!
