The banks promise to help bring about a solution to the financial dramas to fill the fault of the IBAN with eighteen numbers and letters. Together with the Consumer soon they go around the table to see how duped about bookers now much easier to get their money back
.
Thousands account holders will ship in because a number is accidentally forgotten or wrong is entered. Longer IBAN was introduced in August last year, and since then it often goes wrong. Who for example, make a mistake when filling out the long track, the risk that the money does not reach the right person or company. To get the amount back then was a huge hassle for the consumer and the bank.
The Consumer Association reports that “the glove is picked up and the banks have a sympathetic ear.”
Banks themselves can legally do little to recover money that has been deposited in the wrong account.
The Telegraph was last week after an appeal on the website inundated with stories from consumers who could get to their money whistle after they had entered the wrong account by mistake. Who has made once money to the wrong person or body, often a full-time job to get the money back, if it succeeds.
Cosumentenbond and banks to the table
The Consumers and banks start talking about the large number of errors misbetalingen with the IBAN. That said a spokeswoman for the Consumers’ Association after reports today in this newspaper.
“It is a legally complex issue. We have some ideas about that, but we want to discuss with the banks, “said the Consumer Association.
In the period before the final implementation of IBAN adapted the banks an automatic conversion (conversion tool) to the new long number. Typographical errors led back then to around 4,500 per month which misbetalingen monthly with EUR 18 million, turned out in April 2014 from a minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem response to questions.
In May, the banks announced re-enter the previously abolished conversion tool. They were stopped there in April dir years because of the high cost. There are many unofficial omrekentools on the Internet, but sometimes fraudulent sites that show their own bank account instead of the required IBAN

Why banks can not simply return the wrong amounts paid; also this criminal has also been discovered. In other words; The banks aim to ensure that criminals get a chance to commit fraud. Why the bank can not block the number of criminal and refunding the money ?? That surely does not have to be difficult. I get so the idea that banks are not far away from the criminals, crazy huh.
