You Americans (USA-type) seem to think your rules apply to the whole
world. Maybe your legislation states that supplying an account number
implies permission to withdraw money (IMHO that's a stupid rule, but
it's your country, your laws), but it is at the very least unclear
whether that would apply when a non-USA person would give you his
non-USA account number. And the rule in western europe is that the
account numbers of all companies and institutions are public knowledge.
It is almost mandatory to put them on your invoices. When I get a bank
transfer from a public person I get his bank number, as part of the
transaction information. This is the normal practice in my country, and
AFAIK in most of western europe (UK might be an exception).

Give it a try, let's say for E 16.84 (just a random number, no
connection with any ancient but still popular chip). My account info can
