How this kind of attack works

The contract sent funds before updating balances, and the attacker re-entered during the transfer to withdraw repeatedly.

Would a pre-payment check have helped

Needs other controls

Reentrancy is a classic contract bug, unrelated to the counterparty; code audits address it.
