QUESTION
Can I sue my bank for not asking permission to show all of my accounts when I open just one?
Asked on Jun 10th, 2017 on Business Litigation - California
More details to this question:
What has happened is an employee of mine was able to transfer money from one of my accounts and move it into the business account and then did a direct payment to himself for the funds transferred. I feel that if all of my accounts are going to show when I open one I should have the option to not have that happen. I was unaware of the multiple accounts being shown that gave my employee the option to transfer the funds.

The bank will contend that it is not at fault here: it did not give online access to the employee, who was able to access your personal accounts, and then siphon money out. It will contend that there is a duty on your part to control that access better.
The bank isn't the wrongdoer here; the employee is. If you haven't already, make a police report describing the embezzlement. This is a crime that most police departments can understand and investigate.
