Can someone withdraw money from my account without consent?

It is a fundamental principle in both state and federal legal systems that unauthorized withdrawals from a person's bank account or unauthorized charges on their credit card are strictly prohibited.

This prohibition exists to protect individuals from fraudulent activities and to ensure that their financial assets remain secure.

For any withdrawal or charge to be considered legitimate, express consent from the account holder must be obtained prior to the transaction taking place.

This consent serves as a safeguard, ensuring that the account holder is aware of and approves of the impending financial transaction.

In some jurisdictions, the law mandates that this consent be obtained in writing, providing an additional layer of protection and clarity.
