    why does b of a want to know if I have dual citizenship?

    They won't let me log in to my accounts without a popup asking if I have dual citizenship, and if so, which country.

    I do, but why is it their business?

    More likely they may put a hold on a large withdrawal if it looks like you are cleaning out the accounts to leave the country.
    Fuck them and their questions.

    That's what I was guessing. FATCA reciprocity with tax treaty countries.

    Not foreign as far as B of A is concerned: born and live in the US, USD account, low balance, plus credit cards. Accounts have been open for 10+ years.

    AFAICT they aren't targeting me specifically, they're just mining for more information. Google shows that others are getting this as well.

    What I really want to know is could I get in trouble if I lie to them?

    Definitely don't tell them you're a dual citizen if you're not.

    If you are a citizen of three or more countries can you respond "no?"

    Or like Benny, a citizen of Earth.

    You should have closed those accounts in 2008. BofA is the Death Star, followed closely by Wells.

    I’ve never been asked anything like that in my life.

    You're either too poor for the bank to figure you for a money-launderer or too rich for the bank to offend.
