Have had an enquiry from an African country about renting our holiday home in Kerry. We normally take deposits by e-transfer into our bank account but I am just slightly concerned that this person has sought the account details ( before we said this) and also said they wanted to transfer the money in a hurry. The bookings come from a French website and the payment goes into a French account. I assume it is okay to give the account details, iban etc? Can anyone ever withdraw money from an account without your permission? Bear in mind it is a French account. I will of course contact the bank tomorrow but wonder if anyone knows anything about it in the interim.
