Submission + - Facebook asks banks to share customer financial details. (wsj.com)
djl4570 writes: The Wall Street Journal and Zerohedge are reporting that Facebook is asking banks to share customer financial details. In order to enhance the customer experience of course. (Pro tip... When it's free you are the product, not the customer.)
Facebook increasingly wants to be a platform where people buy and sell goods and services, besides connecting with friends. The company over the past year asked JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc. and U.S. Bancorp to discuss potential offerings it could host for bank customers on Facebook Messenger, said people familiar with the matter. -WSJ
