until we recently changed the system, bank transfers ran the risk of you

I thought that all banks checked payee details before allowing transfers
these days but I was surprised to discover last week (whilst transferring
£10,000) that this isnt possible when transferring to Clydesdale/Virgin
money accounts.

Dont think Ive ever checked sort code and account numbers more carefully
in my life. ;-)

I hope that as payee checking becomes more normalised, banks that *dont*
do this will become liable for any losses incurred by account number
errors.
