would you do it?

there are two different cases being discussed here. The link a few posts above talks about where a woman clicked the wrong payee. I think the original post implies the guys mis-typed the account number.

In the cases of clicking the wrong payee, a valid account name/sort code/account number combo has been entered.

In the original post, the account number would not match the account name. therefore the bank should have not allowed the transfer. Its like trying to pay in a cheque when the payee is not you. Its not allowed.

Id argue tooth and nail with the bank if it was just a case of mistyping the acc.no. and they let it ride...

Not sure who you bank with but i've used 3 different banks and their online systems have only ever required an account number and sort code in order to transfer money. I've never been required to put in the account name of the recieving account and tbh wouldn't expect to be required to do so.

that's not the case here in NL. you need a name, and sometimes a city of residence.
