I take bank transfers from clients I've seen before, and I've never had a problem. I do ensure the money is in the account before they reach my house though.

This is so important I don't start any booking without having received funds, if sent to my bank I have to see it in my account on my gadget, if Amazon vouchers they have to be applied to my account by me. If this hasn't happened I need cash from the client.

Bear in mind some strange guys love to get girls personal details for kicks. A sort code can be Googled to what bank that is and where you opened the account. Also make sure your tax return is up to date. Which I’m sure it will be in a lot of our cases. I just find handing over even slightly indentifiable details a no no. Unless it’s a reg client and I know more about him in any case.

Please share what has happened to YOU as a result of you giving someone your sort code?

Yes I've learned to only give bank account details when the person is about to pay the deposit.

Purely on a TW / I need to know what's going on basis. When i provided it upfront quite a few disappeared, or didn't pay for days in the meantime I didn't know if the booking was on, when deposit was arriving etc. I now ask them when they intend making it, and advise until received the booking isn't held. That seems to chivvy along, I also advise to check back with me before sending funds if there's any delay.

I no longer share personal info on this site VC as it’s open to all and not always ladies within the industry. But thanks for your interest once again on one of my posts x

When people used cheques their sort-code was revealed to anyone who handled that cheque - that's what the bank explained to me re providing bank account details.

Aww I'm nostalgic for cheques now!
Remember when you used to go into the branch to "cash a cheque" because there were no ATMs...

But again. Your sort code reveals only where you originally opened your bank account. (EG Natwest, London Rd Brighton.) It's hard to see what anyone's gonna get out of that - surely even the most crazed loon of a client isn't going to sit outside your home branch 8 hours a day, 5 days a week on the off chance that you'll pop in?

That said, I do use a secondary account for bank transfers, which is at a branch somewhere I haven't visited for 20 years. But that's more about ringfencing the funds so I can transfer them to my main account quickly in case of attempted chargebacks.

I have no need to go into the bank I use for deposits, my cash is paid into another account with a different bank.

Also my town doesn't have a branch for the deposit account, and was opened when I lived somewhere else - as many of my accounts are. If someone wants to watch me pay in that's their problem not mine.

This mention of chargebacks is exactly what shits me up over transfers. Please forgive my ignorance but...

My only experience of swapping money from one account to another happens when on holiday with mates and we inevitably end up owing each other. We simply exchange details and yes, names do appear on each other's statements. Once the money leaves our accounts following an online transfer it can be clawed back? Is that what a chargeback is?

I've heard they are possible but there are so many warnings before a transfer is made, I suspect it's quite difficult. I almost always have a trail back to the deposit request, so a text or email conversation. OK the person could say it's not them or made in mistake, but a bit tenuous that they've sent an amount to my account shortly after I've accepted a booking and given my details to AN Other.

A business gave me incorrect account details for a transfer recently, there was a typo in the account number, also sent money to a closed account both amounts bounced back so it seems 'Oh dear I put a wrong number in' might not be a something which happens very often.

Sort codes can be used to identify which branch an account is opened at.

I’ve had request ms to do bank transfer but it’s not worth it as they can claw it back regardless of the fact it’s gone into your account, not worth the risk or hassle

With the closure of so many  small branches of banks I just asked myself  a question which has never occured to me before.

My own main bank account was opened at XXXX branch in XXXX town. That branch closed several years ago so what would "show up" now if someone searched my sort code?

I just googled my own sort code and the original branch still shows but if any man wanted to camp outside waiting for a chance to see me in my anorak he would be very disappointed. That branch is now a greetings card shop.

(So glad I don't do deposits and all that stuff from clients.)

Interesting point! I have only taken deposits from London clients and a few other assorted Twitter clients. I opened my a/c eons ago and they’d never see me there since I haven’t lived there for a long time and deliberately do not tour there.

As an aside bloody annoying all the small branches that are closing, my local branch closed this summer.
