yes, you should be covered by The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Privacy of Consumer Financial Information. You should confront your financial institution and make them aware that what they did was a violation of your privacy. I am assuming that your sister is not a signer or co-owner on any of your accounts. |

Not have your sister deposit money to your account? |

How did she deposit?
If you authorized her to deposit money into your account I think it is reasonable to expect that the bank would give a receipt of the transaction which would include your balance. |

One, unless it is important don't let anyone make deposts into your account. The bank didn't know it wasn't you and they gave her the balance. I find it interesting that they gave her the balance without being asked or proof that she was the owner of the account.
I would contact a bank manager and go over their policies with them, letting them know what happened.
If your finances are that private, make your own deposits.
The bank I do business with as a business even requires my proof before giving me my account balance, though I can have anyone make the deposit |

I'm pretty sure that the bank DIDN'T give your sister your balance on their own. In all of my banking, none of my banking institutions have ever gave me an account balance without myself asking.
In this day and age.. consumers are so ready to sue the pants off of anyone, be thankful your sister didn't deposit your transaction(s) into her account. lol |

You should call to talk to the Manager at the Bank, and tell them that you are highly thinking baout calling a lawyer, for the fact that they gave out your balance to your sister.... That it isnt right that she know what you had in it, and that its against the law. |

when a deposit is made, the bank gives a receipt of the deposit for your records. My suggestion would be for you not to let your sister or anyone else deposit your money if you don't want them to know the balance. Try mailing it in or putting it in an overnight deposit box. If you are working check with your employer and see if they have direct deposit. |

If you are only making a deposit, and not a withdrawal, sometimes banks will not ask for ID. And I believe most banks provide deposit receipts that might have balances on them after someone makes a deposit into an account.
If you gave your sister your bank account# to make the deposit, I'm not sure you can hold the bank responsible if they just gave her a receipt with your balance on it. If it was that confidential, maybe you should have made the deposit yourself. |

at my bank I was able to put a password and ID requirement to make any kind of transactions. Your back might let you do the same, make it so you need to give them a password to gain any information. |

Contact the branch manager and notify he/she of what the teller did. You can even go as far as putting an alart on your account to only disclose info. to you. |
