    This sounds too crazy to be true! Very few people would know the answer to this question.
    What will they ask next, the date that you were conceived?

    What determines the security questions?

    Ive rung up a few times recently and been ask "what DD do you hold on the account" and "give me a recent transaction on the account" as the security checks. Different everytime. Probably a good thing tho

    The day you were born does seem abit odd tho, as you have 1 in 7 chance of getting it right by guessing

    This week I was resurrecting an old credit card I'd not used for several years.
    One security question was:
    "what was your most recent transaction?" :confused: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I was unable to provide this detail :D
  • When i was younger we had these panasonic tele's which went back into the 1920's and maybe earlier i think so i got my day of birth there. When i told my mum she already knew it was thursday.

    What a stupid thing to ask:
    1) the genuine account holder is very unlikely to know off the top of their head (or be quick enough at arithmetic to calculate it!)
    2) it provides no more security that asking for the DOB, as the day can be calculated just as easily by a "baddie" as the genuine account holder, if they know the DOB
