linking a bank account
On 2023-07-xx, I tried to link CFCU checking account to Fidelity brokerage account in order to do an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). But I could not do it since Fidelity is asking for CFCU account's credentials. It is asking for this even when I chose “Enter my bank information on my own” instead of choosing “Log into my bank account with Plaid”.
This issue seems to be specific to (Fidelity, CFCU). I was able to link accounts at other banks such as TD Bank, Capitalone to Fidelity without any issues.
I am not comfortable giving my bank account credentials to Fidelity.
Solution 1: I called Fidelity the customer service. The representatives suggested to fill out a paper form, scan it and mail it to them. This form can be found as follows:
Login into fidelity.com → search for 'forms' in the top right 'Search or get a quote' bar → click on 'Online Forms and Applications' → All Forms → pg-6 → Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) → Download the PDF
Solution 2: Work around it by transferring money to a different bank (ex:- CFCU → Capitalone → Fidelity).
securing the account
- Enable two factor authentication
- Turn on lockdown
