Banner Warnings - Logging in to Financial Sites

[Hawki97]

I don't think I've seen this before. Logged on to a couple of my accounts to ensure things are going as planned - one of them splashed a banner prior to log in basically saying that with the volatility in the market, it's important to make sure you have considered all the factors before making changes. Then basically said if you're unsure, talk to an advisor and hyperlinked their advisory service.

Anybody ever got this before? Interesting method to upsell services in a fear based environment.

A lot of people are calling in panicking about their stocks and wanting to get out it would seem.

I’m sure that’s the case. I applaud the marketing guy/gal that came up with the idea. Never let a crisis go to waste!

First time I’ve seen it. At least don’t remember it in 2020/2008.
