When you cash a cheque, your account number is revealed in the back even though you did not give anyone your account number. The bank has failed to protect you as a customer, in case someone gave you a fradulent cheque just to get at your account number. There is the privacy act many organizations have to deal with their customers. I have worked for the government, to me it is a breach of trust.
If anything went wrong with your bank account, can you hold the bank accountable but also being noted as a Bank's error? I keep my address separate on the bank statement from my street address which goes into a postal box. I was thinking about things today, the bank is not protecting you as a customer. I have a finance background, cancelled cheques do reveal a person's bank account (signature and where it was deposited).
