Stash may record telephone calls you make to customer service and keep those recordings.
This analysis describes what Stash's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Call recording without notice or consent may trigger legal requirements in certain states, and retaining recordings indefinitely raises questions about data minimization and the security of potentially sensitive financial conversations.
Interpretive note: Whether Stash provides real-time notice of call recording to callers in all-party consent states is not addressed in the policy; compliance with state-specific call recording laws depends on operational practices not disclosed in this document.
Any call you make to Stash customer service may be recorded and retained; sensitive financial information discussed on those calls, including account details or investment decisions, will be stored as part of Stash's records.

"We may record any customer service calls and maintain such recordings to better improve our Services.— Excerpt from Stash's Stash Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Several US states, including California, require all-party consent for telephone call recording (California Penal Code Section 632). Federal law under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) requires at least one-party consent for recording, but state laws may impose stricter requirements. For financial services calls, FINRA and SEC recordkeeping rules may also require retention of certain communications, creating a legitimate regulatory basis for call recording but not necessarily for indefinite retention of all customer service interactions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy states calls may be recorded and retained but does not specify the retention period, the consent mechanism used (beyond the general policy acceptance), or whether callers are provided real-time notice of recording as required by applicable state laws. California's all-party consent requirement creates specific exposure if callers are not affirmatively notified at the start of calls. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California (Penal Code Section 632), Illinois (Illinois Eavesdropping Act), Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Washington require all-party consent for call recording. Stash's US-only customer base means these states represent material exposure areas. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If customer service is outsourced to a vendor, the vendor agreement must address compliance with applicable wiretapping and recording consent laws across all states where Stash customers reside. Liability for non-compliant recording practices by a vendor should be clearly allocated. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should verify that Stash's call recording practices include compliant real-time notice to callers in all-party consent states. Retention periods for call recordings should be defined and aligned with applicable FINRA and SEC recordkeeping requirements; indefinite retention without a defined schedule may create unnecessary data minimization risk. The policy should be updated to disclose retention periods for call recordings.
