The convention here is not to top-post. Please scroll to the bottom of the message before you start typing. Or reply inline. It only takes you seconds, makes it much easier to follow threads, and cumulatively saves your fellow users hours. Thanks. In that article *in English* there is no reference to "checking number", every reference is to "checking account" information or number, so I suspect something is lost in translation. A checking account is a US name - we dont have them where I live, but we have similar accounts, which allow for Direct Debits to be set up. The point is that if someone has your account number and sort-code, they *may* be able to set up a payment out of the account without your knowledge or authority. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
