Banks and Dual Citizenships

Recently a U.S. bank which holds one of my plastic credit cards asked me if I had dual citizenship in a foreign country when I tried to go online and revue my credit card account. It would not complete my log-in and allow access until I answered yes or no.

I finally answered yes and then my access to my account resumed on line. Social security and the Internal Revenue Service already know my status. Has this happened to anyone else? Why would the bank need to ask this question? confused

Maybe you used your debit card at an atm overseas.....or had other overseas transactions? Might be a security precaution.
Hi Gal, I have no idea, I only have one citizenship but I´m resident in 2 more countries and my ex has dual citizenship, we have to inform to the bank every 6 months about that, kind of reminder, I thought it was because I shop online in Amazon Spain using a Mexican card....I think it´s part of the info they collect in order to protect our cards from a bad use online or in any country we are not related to....but those are my thoughts, not sure about what I´m saying ....ask them! and you tell me later lol! please
