Piru:
Well it sounds like Finland has its act together in that regard. Much more so than here in the US, which is what I was writing about since that is where I live (and bank). Just for argument's sake, lets say you (or anyone) went and initiated a wire from a website that is, shall we say, less secure than the website run by your bank in Finland. Moneygram, for example. Maybe Western Union..
On Moneygram, you can wire anyone (even yourself)cash using a checking account, which is considered "verified" if you have the account number and IBN number. They also require that you provide a credit card as a "backup funding source". But what if the credit card belongs to someone else, and the checking account to yet a third person? I know for a fact that they don't verify the name you give them against the name on record with the bank or the credit card company. See how they cover their own *ss by making you (or someone) essentially "pay" twice, but otherwise they play fast and loose by not even checking to see if the person requesting the wire is the same name associated with the checking account and is the same name of the person on file with the credit card company?
But then again, lets say you're really in a pinch and you need to wire some cash electronically, AND everything is 100% legit? What then? Would your bank in Finland allow the wire? How would it know the difference between these two transfer requests - one legit, the other complete bullsh1t (wrong name, but valid account numbers, etc) and initiated from a website (or even over the phone) by a company that isn't your bank?
Like I said, if you can wire money in, its probably not that hard to wire it out.
