A claim is circulating that banks secretly use customers' WiFi connections and location data for Know Your Customer checks, a practice being called 'Geo-KYC'. The post, shared in Spanish by a privacy and infosecurity account, suggests banks may gather geolocation data through users' home networks without clear disclosure. No bank or regulator has been named, and details remain thin. The topic has drawn attention from privacy-focused communities concerned about financial surveillance and data collection practices.

Why now: Growing public concern about how banks collect location and network data for KYC compliance without transparency
