hows that a security feature? If someone has access to your account, end of story.

That being said, a bank which spells out the semantics of how different sorts of transaction will work and doesn't relegate understanding how your account works to reams of fine print or reading a subsection of wikipedia would probably be a refreshing experience.

(and thats without looking at how poorly maintained many bank webapps are, i recently had the experience where BOA complained that chrome mac beta was out of date and I should upgrade to netscape navigator!!!!)



How is it "end of story?"

If someone logs into my bank account right now:

1) they can't transfer money; the feature is not available.

2) they can set up a bill pay, but I get an email notice in time to stop it.

How else can they steal from me?


do you mean that a) you have transferring disabled for your account

or

b) that your bank doesn't let you do that?
