"Banks seems to have many layers of checking for potentially suspicious activity,..."
I don’t think so. I had this kind of incident and nobody from bank noticed it (60 euro paid over night 3:35 AM from central europe to fake company somwhere in tax paradise, summer 2014). If i asked why and how it was possible, they replied with formal letter how much sorry they are. Nothing more.
I was in touch with ViSA guys and they confirmed payment as fraud and returned my money back to me.
Around 10 years ago i was in national bank. We had small project for entrance gateway automation. Control unit was strange DIY solution.
Banks aren’t so secure as we think. At least in my country.
I worked for big oil company and even their infrastructure and solutions are far from ideal. So i don’t have false expectations about security.
- exolymph 9y ago60 euro is not a lot of money, relatively speaking.
- ufmace 9y agoI'm talking about bank transfers, not debit cards. Try and transfer $50k to another account and see how many steps you have to go through, presuming it's a individual account and not a business. And then see how long it takes to actually go through, and how many times they call you to make sure you are really trying to do that before it goes through.
