Credit Cards Now Require 'Micro-Intent Verification' for Each Transaction; Early Adopters Report 'Constant Second-Guessing of Life Choices'
BANK OF AMERICA today announced it is rolling out a new feature that requires customers to verbally confirm every single dollar they spend before it leaves their account. The feature, called “Micro-Intent Verification,” was introduced after customer complaints that people were accidentally buying things they didn’t mean to.
“It’s just a precautionary measure,” said Jennifer Morrison, the bank’s newly appointed Director of Customer Intent. “We’ve noticed that customers are making purchasing decisions based on impulse, not intention. So now, before you can buy a $3.99 granola bar, you’ll have to say, ‘I intend to purchase this granola bar with money earned through work, not theft or borrowing from the future.’ Our AI will analyze your tone, your facial expression, and your heart rate to ensure genuine intent.”
