So what do you do to set up automatic payments or buy something online where chips cannot be read? Do you get a notification to approve the transaction every time? It sounds more like you’re just ignorant as to how open these systems still are to abuse…
Yes. Every purchase I do has two-factor authentication
If I do automatic payment, I need to set it up manually and also set a custom limit of how much is allowed to be pulled. I also typically get a notification every time an automatic transaction is planned to occur
CVV is printed on the same side as the CC these days. It’s literally as if your CC was 19 numbers long instead of 16. If you still have a card where it’s printed on the back then yeah, it’s sort of a “I have physical access to the card to flip it” factor of authentication.
this. it sorta annoys me putting in the payee endpoint as well. You should be able to get a number or code or whatnot from the place wanting payment and it will setup the payee endpoint and give you a code. You should then be able to purchase something and give the payee the code which they can do to send a bill to whats setup at your bank. then you go and authorize the payment and of course someone could set it to always accept payments from the payee if they are lazy. It also super annoys me that there is not more options on bank accounts. I want my savings to only allow transfers out to specific accounts I setup. Like my checking. Not allowing any transfers from other institutions. The checking can then be open and I can trasfer there before doing something else with it. Any type of transfer should always do a balance check and not go if insufficient balance is available with no fee.
We really need a push based payment system. It’s absurd someone can take money from you simply by knowing your credit card or bank numbers
Wait, where in the world does that happen?
…don’t tell me that in the US if someone has your banking details they can do literally anything they want, and just empty your account
Yes that’s how it works
Sepa Direct Debits work in basically every SWIFT-connected country too, so that’s most of the world.

I fucking wish
Two factor how? Some would argue a CVV is a second factor, which is actually used in the US.
(I don’t ask to be combative but to clarify the differences. I would not call a CVV true two factor)

My phone if it isn’t a physical purchase where the chip on the card is used
So true two factor then. Sounds too expensive for American corpos to implement, then…
They absolutely can, yes.
