I mean since we're talking about banking:

- Generate a transaction number and associate that number with the respective transaction details

- Send this number to the customer's mobile phone with all those details, or other configured device

- the transfer is only authorised if the customer has entered the transaction number

That way, the customer is very likely to have verified the details of the transfer.

Yes of course.

This is the standard way online banking has been operating in, I believe, much of Europe since practically forever (although it used to be physical lists before smartphones were popular).
