Some of you guys use them all the time, so is there any advice you can give? The guy sounds fine and everything, but it doesn't mean I'd send out the details if it could leave me vulnerable

This is what I've been asked for, is it all safe to give out? Even if there's a 1% or 0.1% risk I would look for another method. From having a glance at the info I've been asked for it's more than I would feel comfortable giving out

Bank detail needed:
Country / Territory
City
Bank
Bank Address*
Bank No.*
Account No.
(Please omit spaces in the Account No.)
Account Holder's Name
Account Holder's Address*

Cheers
