It is a strange feature of arithmetic that if you transpose the 1's and the 10's digit of a number, the difference will be 9 times the difference between the 2 digits. A number like £161 is a gift to anyone intent on doing a fraud - it is very easy to either pocket the £45 or slip in an extra deposit to another account.

I know nothing about banking, but I imagine this possibility will not be unknown in the banking world.

Have you seen how many cameras there are looking at the counters nowadays - pretty hard to steal i should imagine

Lloyds swamped by 2,000 complaints a day

Lloyds is silent on tide of complaints

I was quite shocked to read these links. Lloyds may be trying to save money by not issuing receipts but it is obviously not a good idea as those banking with them will start to vote with their feet.

Your receipt has always been proof of your transaction, this is now opening up another area for abuse/theft.

Have any of the other banks followed suite?
