Thanks mate. May I ask what bank you use? Does it have the option of extra ID over the counter? Also does it actually enforce it in your…

I dont have time to post rubbish just for the sake of it. If I knew how they got the ID, then that would be interesting, but I do not. They…

that is no excuse for a bank to not do the job properly. If there have been large amounts (nearly $10k) withdrawn one after the other, I…

[@schwinn](/comment/2290375/redir): I'm quite sure address is updated with the bank, but good point. Unless the bank has not properly…

[@greydaniel](/comment/2290205/redir): Thats amusing. They fret over $10 but let go of someone's whole cash. This was my savings account so…

[@Jackson](/comment/2289497/redir): I can testify to that myself. I went to the said bank while it was frozen due to fraud. The teller did…

Banks have various checks and smses happening when stuff is done online, but sadly, have left a big hole for over the counter transactions,…

These answers are unanswered for me too though I can tell you I did not lose my bank card. They withdrew money without the card.

I have answered this already in reply to horeshoe. Please see above. It was in the saving account but the bank's security is so S#it that…

My money was in one of the above mentioned "savings" accounts earning their maximum possible interest rate. I'm sorry again as I dont wish…

Its with the police from day one.

I bet none of these banks have 2FA for over the counter transactions. I have checked all of them but if you are sure, please let me know…

Haha! I have found getting a lawyer who does this kind of thing (and is wiling to only take his fees out of the compensation) is not easy.…

Thanks for the advice. However, this is what I want to know: which banks are offering 2 step authentication over the counter? None in my…

Thanks :) it does make sense and I realise it may not be worth it eventually.

[@bluerock](/comment/2289158/redir): the above is meant to be for rinbond

Hope you have a good night's sleep.

No I did not. My original reply answered the question.

Trying to get as many suggestions as possible mate.

Youre right but unless that was done, I thought it was gone for good. I am pointing at the serious lack of proper procedure in place. To…

yeah isn't it unbelievable?

Thieves will try to do stupid stuff, but I guess others need to be smart enough to prevent it.

nothing like that happened to me leading up to this incident so thats why it was a shock.

this bank does not have the verbal password option. In fact, they have no other layer of security now that I have asked them. Will change…

thanks for the detailed answer mate. I will be going through that link to see what can be applied to my case. Yes, you are right, the ID is…

Where do you live? The branches do not need to be next to each other. 24 hours is enough time to travel across Sydney's suburbs (this was…

According to the retail branch, they have as I just asked them.

I dont want to name the bank unless I decide what I am doing regarding my situation. It is one of the big 4. The thread that you mention is…

I dont know how to edit my comment. What I meant was: "The person who took this money came to the bank 15 times over 24 hrs and took the…
