Accidentally sending people money from your online bank account

[NeilF]

With my bank, if you've sent money to anyone elses account, their account is listed on their online system whenever you are moving money around.

I've always wondered why this is the case, and why they are not buried under another option to prevent confusion. I'm always scared I'll miss with the mouse if in a hurry and send X thousand pounds of to someone I simply paid £10 to X years for something...

stupidity.

You can delete them and it's a useful function. Absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is not a simple click. There's a confirmation page as well. If you have a low iq then don't use online banking.

Some banks don't allow you to maintain/delete entries in the list...
