You should definitely file a complaint with the bank, that person is well outside their mandate by stalking you outside of your interaction with the bank. KYC is one thing, stalking your customers prior or after interacting with them is creepy AF.

Maybe get a bit more info before encouraging pitchforks... was it an employee of Bank of America or First-Second Bank of Boise? Most people will likely agree that they get random views all the time. This may be entirely coincidental. The footprint of the bank would provide some context.

Without giving too much away, it's a small bank. My name is not common at all (in fact I'm probably the only person in the world with my first+last name). You wouldn't find me unless you're actively looking.

That person may not have actively searched your name. Recommendation algorithm may find a link in an unexpected way between the two of you. The world is not that big.

That can also be a creep. You cannot know for sure.

How does he know it was that same person?
