Your account number would not be sufficient for someone to draw money from your account. It is made available by you freely to anyone you give a cheque to or make any transaction, debit or deposit, so it is really public information.
Transactions are verified either by your signature on cheques bearing your account number or by PIN or signature on card transactions. In the case of Internet access they would need all the information you have to log on.
So in reality the worst anyone can do with your account number is use it along with other information to steal your identity. It could be used for example to get a financial reference.
The only other thing someone could do with your account number without anything else is of course pay money IN to your account.

Never give out your bank account number. Thats all for what i can say.
NO ONE will ever ask for your bank account number. They may be able to withdraw money, thats true. Other people might have other intention. For example: getting services that requires huge amount of money, and you may be in debt.
Banks will never ask for your number or pin number. So never give them out. To check if they belongs to any banks or related companies, always call up and check with the company personally.

if your Visa is a mastercard, the cost won't come out of your economic company account. If this is a debit/mastercard and you utilize the cardboard as a debit card, the money will come out of your economic company account. A mastercard is for credit. It does not make experience to place your cash into your credit account until you're creating a value. placed your cash into your economic company account instead. mastercard money won't be made in money. until the mastercard is out of your interior of reach economic company and that they settle for money money on the economic company, you will ought to pay via examine or money order. do no longer deliver money contained in the direction of the mail.
