Tampa area woman Shayla King is a single mom who works very hard and just recently had something horrific happen to her. She woke up to her account being wiped out by scammers. She chose to do online banking with a company called Chime which has attracted millions of customers since the pandemic started. In July she woke up and discovered that someone had made 60 withdrawals without her authorization. When she filed a fraud report to make a dispute Chime notified her that they found no error on their part. They only refunded her money after she took the story to the news station.

Some of the top banks according to Nerdwallet.com
