- In a German bank (Sparkasse Oberammergau, glaube ich), I saw an ad for
- an optional signature authentication service they offered: for an
- extra fee, they'd enter your signature into their system, and then
- have it compare the signatures on your checks with the one online.
- Anybody know anything more about this? They must have thought it
- reasonably reliable.
