Main problem I see is that as it stands it's insanely easy to forge a SEPA mandate. Ever had to fill one out? It's literally just a piece of paper saying "I, John Doe, allow XXX to take money for services rendered from my acount AB1234. [signature]". The wonder of legacy processes built for companies with fax-based workflows...

I believe only some "trusted" commercial customers are authorized to turn in SEPA mandates (I know my ISP went into some bankruptcy proceedings and lost their ability to use their SEPA mandates for instance), but still, that makes me somewhat wary about who I give my IBAN to. I'd certainly not put it up online for anyone to see.

Didn't know it was this simple, that's stupid.

I believe though that in today's day and and of banking apps this should be very easily solvable with inapp confirmations

Let's hope the old way dies
