Be careful i had a very bad experience with a client who said the same and it was a scam. I posted in the Warnings section. Link below
  https://saafe.info/main/warnings-wasters/sophisticated-online-scammer/

So sorry this happened.

I have done bank transfers and it's immediate. If it's not then I don't go through with the booking.

Another question about bank transfers...

If a client were to pay into your account with your acc no and sort code, would your name, initials, or any other personal information be visible to them on their monthly/online statement, or in any other way?

If asking someone to put cash in branch you could suggest they use the paying in machine I spose; and even if they did then hand it over the counter, and the cashier asked them to confirm it's the correct account by reading out your name, well... most people I think wouldn't remember the name they'd been told.

But I have been in situation that bank transfer seemed the only viable option, for example, where a client wanted to extend the booking from an hour to an overnight, and it was already midnight or something, so he could not have gone off to find a branch and withdraw money. It was more than £300 so could not have got it from a cashpoint either. He did a bank transfer using phone or mobile app or something and it was all fine, I checked on my mobile app and the cash was there straight away. This client has always seemed 'normal' so even if my name were visible to him I wouldn't be concerned... but if I wanted to receive bank transfers from anyone else for any reason, I would be really worried if they could see any other personal details somehow.

Don't know if that's possible, if it depends on which bank the money has been sent from, or maybe which it's been sent into? Have read through other posts on here about deposits and bank transfers but remain confused.

If anyone can tell me I would really appreciate it  :D

As of right now
"If a client were to pay into your account with your acc no and sort code, would your name, initials, or any other personal information be visible to them on their monthly/online statement, or in any other way?"

No. The name they have on the account would be visible to you though.

I know for a fact you can pay cash into any lloyds bank machines with only sort code and account number, as of now you can’t with Nat west or Santander as I’ve tried for my son and his girlfriend, they won’t accept it and has to be a bank transfer, I’ve been told it won’t be long before all banks refuse cash payments into anyone’s account if it’s not your own account (ie you have your bank card to pay in with). All to do with money laundering I guess 🙄

Ps I tried to do this last month so quite recently

If by transfer yes, cash into the account no.

This is dreadful and it’s why cash is the preferred option, surely!

 But in the circs above whereby a booking gets extended I bet loads of providers are unwittingly risking clients seeing their legal names!

Personally, I find that petrifying.

I’m also shocked that payment can be clawed back, on top of all of that. I didn’t know that was possible.

balls.

apparently from the new year you can't put cash in without name + details either. Don't know the full story on that though so will hold on to my pissed-off-ness until it happens!

Thanks all for your input.

My non-escort friends have been going on about an app called revolut, didn't want to arouse suspicion by asking them how discretely you could use it to accept cash from strangers, so might have a look into it... or else just ask for magic beans in the future

I think I need to clarify I see the name on the senders account, the sender doesn't see the name on my account.

Oh okay :) cool that is what voluptuous curves said also. Yes I'm just bothered whether the sender can see the recipient's name. Couldn't give a stuff if I can see the sender's name; I'm not out to blackmail anyone, and if anything it's probably a bonus for safety reasons.

Many thanks for this

My non-escort friends have been going on about an app called revolut, didn't want to arouse suspicion by asking them how discretely you could use it to accept cash from strangers, so might have a look into it...

I have this App and tested it it (from my hubby's Revolut app account to mine), it DID reveal our real names to each other, despite me enquring beforehand from Revolut they said no, but... in a nutshell... it does. 

There was another App we tested (sending each other a small amount via these Apps)..... called Circle Pay.. which worked on an email address system and showed only the email, so complete anonymity, however some folk on here seemed to think it was not adult friendly. I don't know, at the time (over a year ago) I went through their T&C's like a fine tooth comb, there was nothing referencing adult work, however in that time their T&C's may have changed.

Perhaps google it. All I know is, it provided complete anonymity, hubby only seen email address I used and vice versa. I haven’t used it since however. So… we did NOT see each other's names & they did what they said they did on the tin (unlike Revolut) – as I also phoned and spoke to them (Circle) and they said you didn’t have to reveal real name if you didn’t want, as I recall when logged in there were something like three ID choices you could choose from, your real name, your email address and I think maybe a nickname, not so sure on the last one but anyway I just choose I wanted to be identified to the other person by my email address.

You have to be verified .... but the other person does not see it anyway (if you select from their drop down menu the option to be identified via your email address.  (Also you need to link your debit card in order to be able to transfer funds to your bank account). At the time I used it, it was done electronically, they don’t provide a (physical) credit card, whereas Revolut does, although its not compulsory to order it as you can use their 'virtual' one . However there is little point in using Revolut if it is not anonymous!

With Circle Pay there are no worries about giving out bank details, sort codes, account numbers, cashiers giving your name out (by accident or otherwise).

Of course any Client would have to have the App on their phone too (and you would have to swop email addresses, so you knew who was who, say if you had more than one Client using it).  It is free to download from Play etc & called 'Circle Pay' and relatively easy to set up.

Also I see on here some others have used and recommend another App called ‘Cash App’ which sounds similar to Circle, (it is downloadable on Play as ‘Cash App’ (then has the word Square underneath in red writing) - if you use the search engine here you might find other topics on it, input  'cash app' or 'cashapp'. And/or perhaps do a Google search.

Speaking of Google I found the article (extract below) from this year, April 2018 - (if you google ‘cash app’ or ‘square cash app’, hopefully you can find it plus other online articles). So you can do your own research.

It seems like new methods are evolving all the time, esp while banks close down etc. New ‘systems’ appear to be popping up like mushrooms.

Although of course what is needed in this instance is:

(1)  anonymity and also

(2)  for it to be adult friendly (however if the T&C’s don’t refer to it then technically you are not breaking their T&C’s)

Here is the extract from the article: (it is the Cash App referred to above).

Square announced on Tuesday (April 3) that its peer-to-peer (P2P) Cash app is now available in the U.K.

According to news from MarketWatch, the U.K. is the first international market for the Cash app. Like in the U.S., users across the pond can now send and receive money without paying a fee. The funds will show up by the end of the next business day. However, the app doesn’t enable users to buy or sell bitcoin, which U.S. users of the app can do, and the Cash debit card won’t immediately be available in the U.K.”

This article popped up in the news today - in summary, from next year they're looking to make it a requirement to include and check the recipient's name on transfers as a fraud prevention technique. Not clear yet whether this will also apply to cash deposits in machines though distinctly possible given the reasoning behind the change.
On the flipside, it would also make it even more difficult for clients to assert any such payments were made in error and try to reclaim (although that's already a fairly difficult proposition, as the article notes onus is currently on customers to make sure details are correct anyway).

Ok so revolut is out... thank you for sharing your trials Bexy, you've saved me a lot of time.

As far as (1) anonymity, circle pay and cash app seem to cover it then. As far as (2) being adult friendly, I think maybe that could be dependent on prostitution laws in country where company is based? Just thinking of how British sex workers have had problems using Paypal for work purposes, because it's an American company. Circle Pay says it is based in Boston USA, but Cash App website says that their headquarters is in London - although they have offices world wide - so I am thinking it might be a British company?

Although from the quote you have pasted I'm not sure about that, don't know why a British company would be offering more services (bitcoin/cashcards) to american customers than domestic. Hmmm.

I am not sure if knowing the name on the recipient's account is going to be compulsory, but some banks will actually - shock - start checking any name that is given against the account's records from summer 2019.
