WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Your Phone Carrier Wants to Connect to Your Bank Account · 5 Sep 2023 podcast

In a lot of cases, these companies are working with these third party, such as Plaid or Trustly.

And those companies, their entire business is linking your bank accounts with

with the carrier so what they do is they auto populate it your carrier doesn't see your bank login that still is kept private so what these third parties do is really kind of just make that link there's also an option with these companies where you can enter your bank accounts and the routing number they don't see every payment that you've made or you know have other sensitive information about you but you really need to be sure that you trust your carrier

They should think a little bit about how much they trust their carrier.

Accenture had done a study and it found that people really trust their mobile carriers.

But, you know, some of them have been hacked and they are targets of hackers.

Think about that.

The other really big thing is to think about the sort of benefits that you're getting from your credit card.

So some credit cards have smartphone protection.

So instead of having to get like AppleCare on your new iPhone, your credit card would reimburse you $800 if you break it or someone steals it.

But you would only get that benefit if you're paying your bill each month with that credit card.

There's other things like cash back or miles or other perks that you could be getting from your credit card that are actually worth more to you than having $5 or $10 off your bill each month.

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Trading In Your Old Phone? Here's How to Get the Best Value. · 24 Mar 2022 podcast

Everyone I talked to said the time to trade in your phone is now.

If you're thinking about it and you have an old phone you don't use, the values drop daily, basically.

Thanks for having me.

So these aren't charity.

They're not trying to really help us out.

What they're doing is trying to get everybody to move to their 5G networks as quickly as possible.

That's a big factor right now.

But these carriers have also discovered over the years that it's a lot cheaper to keep a current customer and keep them happy versus having to spend a lot of money on marketing and service deals and other sort of offers to woo somebody from another carrier.
