    Did you have to sign the slip?

    I did but my signature is a tough read at the best of times

    I see, so you didn't actually just give them your account details and name, but you also gave them a security factor: your signature. That explains how you got money out, your signature.

    I don't get that ye think a signature is some form of security. Seems like a very easy thing to copy if you ask me.

    They are but they still say your signature should be more of a cryptic squiggle than legible names. Apparently those types are a bit harder to forge.

    morning guys :-)
    I didnt think I needed to create a new tread for my related question.

    I just got this AIB card reader and want to do a tranfser... i put in my card, then pin and i get a code.. perfect... problem is.. the code has 9 unique characters... not 8...
    I cant type in 9 characters into this little card reader thing...
    I just redid the generate code thing again 3 times with the reader and every time i get a code with 9 characters...

    what am i meant to do with that ?
    I tried cutting the last number off... and of course it didnt work...

    any ideas guys?

    Thanks a lot guys.
    Ian :-)

    Hmmm, 9 characters? I'm pretty sure (from memory) that it used to give out 2 blocks of 4 characters separated by a space, so perhaps that space character is corrupted. Try removing character 5 from the sequence (but it sounds broken to be honest).
