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![]()
