Behavior isn't what needs to change here. It's a poor system design. Humans make mistakes. Systems prevent mistakes.

Do you think the mistake would have happened if a machine checked the numbers vs the address? How about if a 2nd person looked it over? How about both?

In this case a computer could have easily flagged an address mismatch between your account number and the receiver (your work).



Thank you, that's what I intended to say.
