If you call a bank or another entity, that has your bank information on record, and claim to be someone specific, can answer basic questions and knows the full IBAN - perhaps they believe you are who you claim to be. This is social engineering, and it works.


I think parent specifically mentioned that just IBAN is enough which sounded very unprobable for me. Another comment explained that it's possible but in very specific accounts.
