EWS on the other hand is full of information some of which should be private. Some banks, like Chase and Discover, report every ACH transaction including checks and bill payments. Some (Chase, CapOne) report the account balance on the 1st of each month. I’m glad I don’t keep much money there, but it’s still ridiculous.
One more rude surprise I haven’t seen mentioned on other forums discussing the privacy atrocity that is EWS is that all banks report my email address. I use a different email address with every institution (see my privacy thread). I don’t understand why the email address associated with my banking account is of any other bank’s business, especially since they don’t do anything with that information anyway.
