💵 Why Financial Privacy Matters

Your financial footprint can expose your entire life—habits, patterns, intentions. To control exposure, control your money's movement.

🏦 Offline Banking Tactics

• Choose banks without biometric-heavy policies
• Prefer banks like IPPB with branch visits, minimal surveillance
• Withdraw/Deposit at counters instead of ATMs
• Use passbooks and avoid mobile banking apps

🪙 Cash Is King

• Use cash wherever possible, break it into parts
• Buy essentials in cash, avoid loyalty cards
• Keep small bills for daily purchases
• Hide emergency cash in analog safe spots

📱 Digital Payments with OPSEC

• Use UPI with alias accounts, non-primary SIMs
• Use non-KYC wallets for one-time payments
• Disable SMS, location & permissions for finance apps
• Use sandboxed app profiles (like Shelter, Island)
