re: I opened a Coinbase pro account last week and they deposited $5 of Bitcoin today - free

I’ve never given my login information for any wire transfer.

Like I said though, if you back out of that option they give you a better option of giving them the routing number and account number. Then you confirm two deposits they make. Think it just takes longer which I’m fine with. This option is normal to me. The other is not.

thats actually the way it used to be with the deposits. But yea a ton of new places use the plaid option that essentially uses the log in to move the money.
