I believe that the CRS reporting is for both EMIs and banks, so no problem. I may reconsider in the future, but as yet, I take the view that if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
The only 'protection' I need is against new EMIs freezing accounts for no reason, impossible A.I. bots that just waste time and helpdesk messages that make no sense, all of which I've suffered recently. One message confused residency and I.D. and refused to accept what I uploaded. I finally sent them the passport info that they already had, as well as a complaint about their behaviour and potential implications︀ about their own AML and Due diligence procedures (they had about 3 I.D. documents!), throwing︁ in reference to OLAF for good measure. I received a grovelling apology within hours and︂ my account reinstated. Important to realise that this AML, KYC, Due diligence business and privacy︃ can be thrown back at them. I suggest that Due diligence by the client and︄ KYB (Know your bank) is a slowly growing mindset, given the daily news reports of︅ corruption within the banking world.
