I wonder is there already a service out there that provides the data on account numbers and banks that companies use?
Such list could be useful in preventing scams. Let's say that before making a payment to a company you would see it the associated number is really connected to that company or if some has breached your system and changed the account number. It could also help with fake invoices and so on.
Can such system even be built or is this not possible due to contracts beetween banks and clients?
I think that it is more likely that this is related to financial results/expectations and plans rather than one.
The story of one query does sound appealing for headlines but it I think that there is more. Maybe disbelieve of investors into AI technology at this stage.
