Someone on the other side of the country needs to send some money my way. I have an IBK bank account and am wondering what bank information I need to give them so they can transfer the money to me.

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to give the precise name of the account holder. It is just a double-check that comes up after your friend types in your account number to make sure that he/she put in the account number correctly. In my experience, the name that comes up on the screen actually isn't the precise name, but it's usually close enough to tell it's the right person. For example, my ex-roommate's name came up as her middle and last names, even though she'd opened the account with her real full name. Apparently Korean bank software has trouble with foreign names.
