    Default Taking Bank Deposits for Indie Shows etc - Advice Please!

    Hello all

    I've done a search but didn't find what I was looking for - I will be offering Skype as soon as I get my new computer, and want to take bank deposits. I know I can accept Amazon vouchers, but I can't pay the rent with those!

    I'm in the UK (in case that makes a difference), and I know I just have to give out my sort code and account number, BUT I am a bit concerned as I've known people who have done this and their real name was confirmed at the point of transfer "thank you very much, you have transferred £20 into Miss Anne Smith's account" I am also a bit concerned that direct debits can be set up on my account by weirdos and thieves (many DDs arranged online don't need a signature).

    So I was wondering if there was any way round this, maybe should I have a dedicated deposit account? Can I instruct my bank to block all incoming requests for DDs etc on that account? Can I have the account in my stage name (as long as they have my real details, of course)? Plus can non-UK people pay in if I give them the IBAN etc numbers?

    Thanks all

    I know of people taking direct bank payments without any problem (and they just need the IBAN number etc for outside the UK). Maybe have a chat with your bank about the information they disclose? You could have a business account but I think it would still show "Miss Anne Smith t/a Dirty Slut Anne", and then you'd have their business account charges to deal with too.

    I'm in Canada and I sometimes take email money transfers for shows - not sure if you have this option. I was weary of it showing my real name so I had a friend send me a transfer and she showed me the email that came back. It only shows the name they put in during the transfer in the confirmation email, not the real name on the bank account.
    hopefully this helps if you have this option there
