Yeah, I can understand transactions having a unique id, I use them myself, I
was referring to my account as an entity, not the transactions against the
account. I can imagine my account number travels along through each wrapping
(like ip in tcp/ip) in cross bank transactions. I was referring to the
practice of giving us a unique visa number as the key to an account, not a
combination of name on card, expirydate, etc to form the key. (Which may
form another key as well..)
I worry about banks anyway, the level of charges is inversely proportional
to service, and service is in a geometric progression downwards here in Oz.
An Australian bank is the closest thing to a perpetual motion machine I will
ever see.
