Why the fuck don’t receipts just show up in my bank / credit card statements?

[-] msage@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago

Do you want your bank to see everything you've purchased?

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Even banks don’t want to see everything you’ve purchased. That opens them up to a whole new avenue of subpoenas from police trying to prove crimes. They already have entire legal compliance departments dedicated to fulfilling subpoenas for financial crimes. They don’t want even more responsibility.

No, but I want to see what I’ve purchased T_T. While we’re at it I’d like public key cryptography to see more use, haha.

Umm... If you're using their cars they definitely do... That's how this works..

I guess you mean their cards.

And they should only see the amount and counterparty, not your entire invoice.

buys a single item from Bad Dragon

They know where I spent how much money; probably wouldn't take much to figure out what I could have bought in a situation like that where every individual product is slightly cheaper or more expensive than the last.

They'd have to want to do that math, though.
