Will you allow strangers to know your bank details? Can they have access to your account just by knowing your bank account number? Many people are reluctant to let others know your bank account details. Someone or company like paypal asks for your bank detail if you want the payment is directly transferred to your bank account.7 people like this

Of course we should give our account #, swift code and branch in order to receive payments/donations, the only details we must not give are the security codes or pin/password etc

Only account number is no problem, right? How can people send the money if they don't know the number. Yes, you are right.

@AkoPinay Everytime I accessed my email from a computer I have never used before, the email system always confirmed me via my phone number before it was finally accessed. This is a very good security system.

@yanzalong yesss have a separate bank accts for personal (savings) and for business (checking) transfer your money to savings acct after receipt thru checking acct. 
Better access your savings acct from a different device/computer that only you can access and a different device for surfing online to be more secure.

I don't think I will be giving mine at all. A lot of online scams have been happening right now and we really have to be very careful on how and who do we entrust this information. Though there are security questions, this can easily be bypassed by people who are known to be hackers.
So be careful, always

Of course I will not tell a stranger my bank information, even if it is just the bank account number. Who knows what they will deal with it? I think if we are not greedy to gain money without any efforts, it is unlikely we will be cheated.

No, not at all. Never let them have my Bank Account number. I am always careful about receipts too that might have my number on it.
No way am I going to show someone the Numbers in it.
