Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?

multiple email account? Not really. It is typically implemented using some email proxy or alias like anonaddy or simplelogin. By the look of it is multiple accounts, but in fact you’re just receiving mail forwarded to you in one account. All you have to do is append any strings as the user with your domain.
(anonaddy and simplelogin requires adhoc address generation using subdomain by them or a domain owned by you with MX records pointing to their servers)
disclosure: I’m a current customer of anonaddy. Never used simplelogin though.
Thanks for the info. You’ll have to forgive my ignorance as I’m not super well-versed but, I was of the impression that alias software like anon and simple login were more for avoiding spam and unwanted emails from sign ups. Is it also effective as a security tool?
Security wise, maybe. You might be more protected against cred stuffing but reusing password on multiple services at the first place is already a big no no.
