      Right, I’d just get their account number and sort code, and can transfer securely for free, normally immediately or at least within 2 hours if their bank also uses SWIFT, which they all do.

        If I understand correctly your account number is kinda of a big deal and a security risk to share it. But I may be wrong, nothing in US banking is straightforward or makes sense.

          Depends. It’s not an issue at all for European bank accounts. All you can use it for is to deposit money in my account. Pretty much every company will have their bank account number listed on their website and in their letterhead.
