NatWorst Opens The Door To The Fraudsters

Natwest have brought in a system called Get Cash based on a mobile phone app. But according to this on the BBC’s web site, it’s all started to backfire.

It looks to me that the Get Cash app is just too easy a target for fraudsters and it appears to me as a humble programmer and system designer, that they used programmers and designers, who didn’t understand the criminal mind.

If my bank offers me a mobile phone app to do my banking or use a credit card, the answer is no, no a thousand times no!

Incidentally, the computer that does my banking, never leaves my house and sits behind a door with a powerful lock on it.

I usually only draw out cash from a small number of cash machines fairly close to my house or at the Angel.
