On-line personalities, Economist John Adams and Analyst Martin North, have uncovered a growing scandal by Suncorp Bank, sent into them by one of their followers who received this personalised promotion from her bank.
A Suncorp Bank customer by the name of Lisa sent the email from Suncorp Bank to Adams. In this communication, Suncorp Bank sought to ask their customers about their views about microchipping and whether this an acceptable practice.
Needless to say, the backlash from Suncorp’s customer base from this email campaign resulted in the page on their website promoting the payment chip system to be taken down.
Banks have already shown their willingness to de-bank their clients over the most nefarious reasons such as having a differing political view. With this kind of technology accounts could be closed and funds removed in an instant.
