i am the same. i don't use those. i just have my bank shit for bills, deposits. i don't trust venmo or cash app. i can walk to a bank atm. im the only tech person in the family and my relationship to tech is very intentional.
my family, of course, is baffled by technology but has all the latest stupid gadgets and self-surveillance devices and all their computers are malware riddled pop-up machines while they act like im crazy for not installing and entering my banking info into every app that asks.
i opened up an online bank account that is just used for intra-family money transfers and is completely firewalled from their bullshit with one extra cutout layer inserted between it and me, with a minimum balance maintained. took me like maybe a day to set up, and they acted like i was being so weird.
it would not surprise me if all of their credit and debit accounts are compromised. they aren't the types to scrutinize charges. they all make more than me with less living expenses, but are always cash poor.
