Australia's new insta-pay scheme has insta-lookup of any user's phone number

This is just for stupid fish who can't remember the milk.

I never remember phone numbers, they're in my phone. The numbers have been verified because I talk or text with the other parties. People are names not numbers.

I would pre verify a new number putting them in my contacts then talking with them before transferring funds.

The banks have it round the wrong way. Their app has to verify with my contact list.
