M1 bundles investing, banking, AND lending into 'one' relationship — but that means when something goes wrong, which specific agreement actually governs your dispute (the investing terms? the banking terms? the lending terms?) is genuinely unclear from the outside. The more products a company bundles together, the harder it becomes for an ordinary customer to know exactly which rulebook applies to their specific problem.
