It might be valuable for a minority of people, but it is an active detriment for most. I want to know where my money is going, and I want my bank to be able to get it back in case of theft or fraud.


at same time you don't wanna to ask bank for permission to spend your money every time:

"Can I buy some milk today? No!, let's visit our branch first and give some papers which will require significant time/effort to get for you."

Most just not experiencing things like this but once that happen it is hard to ignore this possibility.


I do want permission from my bank, actually. Of course not for milk, but for a car or house, for sure.
