The api seems to let you create new accounts fairly easily. Seems odd to me as the API provider is the bank. Based on KYC I presume they think they are all splits of the same account holder?

I learned the other day that the name on account means shit, because scammers often give $account_details + $catfish_name and receive the money to $bank_details + $real_name.

I don’t see how splitting to 1000 transactions and sending money to yourself helps with money laundering or undercover money sending.
