Payments from abroad - OK to give bank details?

For international payments, you'll need to give him your IBAN or Swift number. IBAN is printed on your statement, not sure about Swift. Don't give him your address, or any other sensitive information.

You can also setup the account that only payments can be made in that way no one can request the bank for withdraws from the account
