Yeah right, as if anything is simple now  |
It’s easy - just log on to your app, go to profile, and add/change telephone number - takes about 10-15 seconds…
Oh, wait… 
Problem with using your online account through a web interface is that they will want to send you a confirmation code to your phone number…

You guys are happy with your aps and 6 levels of security, I'm happier if I can walk into a shop and pay cash (or use a debit card without revealing the story of my life) |
but you are not happy are you because you can not just walk into shops and buy what you want nowadays. Yes society suffer for it but it is what it is .

As opposed to wanting you to login to an app and then approve a transaction.
Getting the sms code is as quick, and often quicker, in my experience.

It was in reference to his point he was trying to put his phone number on to his bank account, as it wasn’t there, so it would be problematic getting an SMS…

There was never a need for it to be there, they still send letters (not emails) about any changes
. . . and how many times do you see it said "the bank will never ring you . . "

It’s for the security code they send you by SMS, so you can confirm it’s you on the bank’s website, so you don’t have to wait a week for the letter with it to arrive, then have to ring them and undergo the frustration you described previously…

I have seen that never. They say they will never ask certain details that could compromise the account if given the wrong people but of course they call you. If they suspect a fraudulent transaction what is the quickest way to find out? yes speak to the customer and how pray tell do they try to do that quickly? that is right they call you . I personally then say thank you very much hang up and call a known legit number for the bank and ask for clarification on what has happened but no they do not say they will never call you
Oh and you do not need to bank online to get your card spoofed it can happen at a cashpoint

Yes, needing a verification/security code sent to the phone before you can buy anything online, which is why I now need to (not to be confused with want to) give them my phone number.

The link says a lot of things they will not ask which is what I said but shorter but the fraud dep. It is common practice for them to call for possible fraud unless they can report it through the app

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
My bank says they will call me for legitimate fraud checks, although I never pickup the phone if I don't know who's calling, I would expect my banking app to flag something but I've never been in a situation with anything dodgy as far as I know with my main bank and savings bank.
