Don't Make Personal Banking Data Public Information!

A word of caution: your personal banking data, including account numbers, online banking IDs and passwords, and other sensitive information, should be kept private. Giving anyone access to this information who doesn't need it could expose you to potential fraud; it's surprisingly easy for fake checks to be created or fraudulent electronic transactions to be initiated using only your bank account number and your bank's routing number.

This is equally important for business customers; you should never make your bank account number public information, even to make easier the process of accepting electronic payments or wire transfers. This information should only be provided to the companies or individuals who truly need it.

Keep your banking information private and protect yourself!
