Can just any employee of a bank disclose information about an active investigation of my account?
Question Details: The branch manager where my account was located nor myself knew nothing about this investigation. This person who told me about my account being investigated told me this info over the phone without even verifying my identity. I believe this person surely must have broken some sort of ethical or legal agreement by revealing this information to me without verifying my identity first.
I believe the issue is whether or not proper protocol was violated where a bank employee advised you without verifying your credentials and identity that an investigation of your account was being made. The issue is really an internal issue with the bank involving employment isues and not an issue of general law with respect to you.
