Do you think it’s okay to give my bank details just my sort code and account number too potential paypigs to send me money? I prefer this method of payment as it’s instant and I can see the money in my account straight away and don’t really like to use PayPal as it can take a few days to come through sometimes. But I’m worried about someone using my details. Is there anything realistically they can do with my bank details? Anyone have experience with this?
In theory no, although direct debits could be set up.
Years ago people wrote cheques containing sort code and account number, some still do.
Just be aware of confirmation of payee which may reveal the name on your account, or at the minimum flag up a warning the name does not match - I advise payees that so long as the sort code and account number is correct the payment will go to the right place.
