Yes I ask for deposits for outcalls as well and get them to pay the money straight into my bank. Just bank account and sort code needed. If they do it online and need to put something in the payee name part any old name works! If they can't/don't want to do it online they can go into your bank and pay the cash in as long as they have your details.

Are you certain that if a man pays into my account using only acc no and s/code the teller is not permitted to  tell him my name if he asks ("just to check" as an excuse) ?

Yes, I thought this too.]

Some  banks have paying in machines and you only need the account number and sort code

Yes I know but that does not answer my question.  If a client was trying to find my real name he could ask when paying the cash into my account "just to double check" and would the teller reveal it?  Anyone know?  A counter clerk would assume you know whose account you are paying into and if you asked to double check the name would they give it to you?

Mistakes do happen. Years ago I paid some cash into a family member's account and the teller pressed the wrong buttons and it went into a stranger's account. It was rectified quickly but errors can happen which is why I always double check any counter transactions and don't just assume the clerk is always correct.

I don't know. What's been your experience with bookings so far?

I have not used the deposit system at all but would not give out my sort code etc. and before anyone says this is off topic please bear with me.  I have read many times that a client (or anyone) needs only a sort code and acc. no. to pay in, yes I get that, but what proof has anyone that if a man asked to check the teller has the right name, is the teller permitted to give out that name? As we know there are men who for reasons beyond me, would love to know our real full names.

If no one knows the answer perhaps I will ask at a bank.  :)

Yeh I'm not sure about that. I think all mine have done it on through online banking. Would be interested to know though!

One branch did insist on knowing my name, the client was paying in the full fee and I suspect if he'd just paid in the deposit amount he'd not have been asked to phone and ask for my name.

I did give my name, nothing scary has happened.

I also once had to refund a deposit by bank transfer, that would have revealed the name on the account. At the time the client deserved the refund and the chance he might do something with the account details was secondary to me needing to be professional.

Amazon gift card is another option.

AW do not allow their credits to be used to pay for a booking, Paypal has rules about use for adult services - it's also reversible.

I've taken numerous deposits into my bank account, so far apart from the incidents I've described there's not been any problem. The main issue are those who say they are going to pay the deposit, then either don't or take a long time to do so. I now make it clear only contact me when you are ready to pay the deposit, otherwise you are wasting your time.

Thanks Mirror, so it is not foolproof then, as I suspected.

No the account will accept deposits without the account name, staff are looking for deposit frauds and scams which are in the media amounting to thousands of pounds from individuals.

I have however had someone regularly pay quite large amounts of cash in without issue. Just depends and sometimes it can be the nervousness of the client which draws attention.

Amazon cards can be bought in many shops and in relatively remote ish places. I've found deposits work well for me, they cut down the faffers, make the client more likely to attend and provide me compensation if they do not. My ads are clear about it, and the methods I accept.

Did you provide your full name in order to receive money from a foreign bank account?


Cheques are high risk, so far I've not had anything go wrong with payment into my bank (some pay over the counter, others transfer) or Amazon codes apart from those who want to claim they've sent it when they haven't.

One issue one client had was a transfer from a non-UK account into mine, over a weekend + bank holiday to boot, if he'd told me this beforehand I'd have advised him to use Amazon instead. He accepted that I couldn't/wouldn't count it unless it arrived before the booking, and sent me Amazon plus cash in full at the start. So did paid the full fee, his bank transfer arrived the day after the booking. I've offered to refund to a UK bank account (foreign transfers can incur fees), or send him Amazon vouchers. He's asked me to hold it against a possible future booking - which is what I have done.

Yes it can get complicated, which is why I'm firm and make everything crystal clear before/when I accept the deposit and before I provide bank details. Some potential clients switch off, lose patience which is fair enough. Others just send the money through no problem.

A few use it to pay their booking fee in full beforehand, which I am certainly not going to complain about. So long as it's in my account I'm more than happy.

Hiya,

About deposits I have browsed the different methods. What is a good rate you charge for a deposit amount?.

Many thanks.
