Before offering me a job. Is this normal? I was filling out some online forms and they wanted my banking info. Anyway, the whole thing just seemed suspicious, so I stopped filling out the forms. I had a really good in person interview today and I have another tomorrow, so I aint about to continue doing anything that I think might even have the tiniest chance of being a scam.

Some employers do a credit check. Never heard of an employer asking for your banking info. I think you did the right thing by not completing it.

Maybe email and ask em whats up.

They probably just want to have the info on hand so they can get your direct deposit set up before your first paycheck should they choose to hire you

I worked for a company that did this, if they didn't hire the person then the bank info in the app got put in the shredder

It was online. I got a call today, the woman said I need to fill out some forms. The whole thing seemed a little suspicious, but I need a job and I am casting a wide net.

One solution is to have two accounts, and give them the info on one that is empty

Maybe, but the whole thing made me nervous. Hopefully I get the job I Interviewed for today. Its a really good job with benefits.

This is likely why they wanted it. I think you can relax, TC.

If it's the onboarding process, it's normal. Otherwise that sounds sketchy

Well, I have a lot of irons in the fire, so I just might let this one go. I am not desperate enough to do something that makes me uncomfortable, at least not yet.

Have you gone for an in person interview for that job? If you haven't then that's massively sketchy

Yeah, screw that then. I'm with you on not going through with that. Sometimes it's better to be cautious.

That doesnt make any sense. You dont exchange sensitive financial info with a company if you havent been hired on.
