The Banking Firewall: Protecting Your Income

Executive Summary (TL;DR)

The Threat: The "Right of Offset" allows banks to legally seize your checking/savings funds without a court order if you default on their credit products.

The Strategy: Create a total separation of "Debt" and "Income" by using entirely different financial institutions.

The Goal: Force creditors to use the slow legal system (lawsuits) rather than instant internal fund transfers.

You haven't been hacked. You have been hit by the Right of Offset.

The Danger: Right of Offset

When you sign up for a bank account, you agree to a clause hidden in the fine print: if you owe the bank money and default, they can seize your deposit accounts to cover it—without warning.
