In PoA Uk Edition, - which sadly I do not have infront of me, Sirius mentions 
the vault number. This made me think that perhaps it is the vault number that 
matters rather than the name on the vault. So, I always believed that a money 
transfer could be made from one vault to another or to even Quality Quidditch 
without having to go to Gringotts and give your name, etc... something like 
the ATM machine or 'online banking'.

As for Crookshanks delivering the order... A simple note tied round his neck 
with the Gringott's account information would have sufficed, as who is to say 
that an Owl is the only excepted means of post- Sirius uses all kinds of 
Birds in GoF.... why can't a cat carry an order to the store for you?

recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the 
dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with 
open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."  T.E. Lawrence- Seven Pillars of
