How do you do a bank transfer without them knowing your real name?
When I set up the account the bank assured me that the account name isn't required.
Sometimes a transfer form requires a name, and I've found it can be any name so I give my working initials. This has worked for cash deposits, online, phone and in branch transfers.
It would appear the account name is merely a formality.
I do check the account and sort code number several times to avoid any mistakes. I also keep a contact trail in case the transfer is ever disputed.
