If someone knows your account number, they can take money from it, there is no separate secret or anything. It would be illegal, but they can do it.

- invisiblerobot 7y agowhat?? You can deposit without a pin bit to withdraw you need photo id and a verbal password or pin in every bank I've ever been in
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoAre you in the USA? Our banks don't exactly do "security" at all.
- chrisseaton 7y ago> If someone knows your account number, they can take money from it You can seriously just say a bank account number at a bank in the US and walk away with a bag of cash from it, with no other security checks at all? In the UK they’d make you enter a password or PIN or use 2FA.
- ixwt 7y agoNo, you would have to do some authentication at a physical bank itself. You can use the numbers to request a wire transfer from the account. In fact, when you're setting up an ACH transaction for bills and such, they tell you to get the numbers from a check.
