And merged, since we don't need two virtually identical threads and this way it's all kept together :)

It’s a business account it only shows the name of the business. So no only the name you give. You can be as creative as you like and it’s so easy you can transfer instantly to your personal account from there. The card arrived in 4 days. I’m very impressed.

Hi All,

Thanks for the all the advice so far.

@GG,

I just applied for the Tide business account. I signed up as a sole trader and was asked all my personal details etc. Do I get to give them a business name to use on my account or is it when I give a client a name to my business bank account I get to choose  ?

I'm planning to open a Tide account too. Do you guys open it with your working phone number? Will they check it?
When I google my number it shows some escort results.

I used my business name but you also give your real identity which is on the back of the card (I think, don’t have it to hand). And the business name is the same one I give to clients.

I used my personal number just in case.

I’ve only used it a couple of times so far but really pleased with the ease of use and quick transfers.

I would ask for a deposit.  I have been duped a couple of times.  Talked to client while I was on train.  Yes he would be at station waiting for me.  He was a no show.  This has happened twice to me.  Now I ask for a deposit to cover travel costs to show he is genuine.  There is nothing worse than travelling x amount of miles to find that you have wasted time and money getting there.

'Escort services and other services in the adult industry' is on Tide's banned list of business types they'll provide services to, so I wouldn't be too candid if you want to keep it.

Can't you ask to get your transfer by western union for your deposit and collect it via a post office in cash?
I don't do deposit but i know you can send money via this system and the one who receives the money can get it without any Id, just a password that the sender gives you?.

TV, I'm looking at this from a slightly different angle. WU is of the oldest, hairiest old chestnuts I was warned of when I started. Used by every scammer under the sun before dinosaurs ruled the earth. As with most financial or transfer organisations they have cashback. It's not much benefit being anonymous if the money is CB'd.

But pick up the dolla within a couple minutes of the transaction if you're ass is next door to a branch and you should be fine. :)

Since the first lockdown started I realised I had to do some changes and I started implementing deposits for all non regulars and I found that to be very helpful. Most of my clients are however regulars but if anyone new wanted to meet me during all the 3 lockdowns a deposit of 50-30% of my rates where needed. It worked really well for me and helped to weed out the non genuine ones and the tws. I am now continuing to ask for deposits for outcalls, bookings after certain hours if its a new client and the ones who have reports/negative feedback.

This past week I had two new clients requesting to see me and they seemed a bit dodgy so I asked for a deposit and no questions asked they paid it straight away. Of course, you will always get the ones who won’t want to pay but I just say I understand and wish them all the best.

Agree with the above if they really want to see you they will pay the deposit. Also it’s very rare you get a no show with the deposit system in place. If they can’t be bothered to build positive feedback on the sight then they have to prove they are safe end of the day. I think when you explain to them it’s for safety and not money reasons they understand.

Just wondering, do you take a percentage or a fixed amount as I am getting so annoyed with no shows  :FF

Thank you

Pre-pandemic the amount varied according to booking length, now because I'm applying a strict limit per day (pre-vaccine it was only 1 every 2 days) I apply the same deposit for any booking. Also if travel is significant the deposit is often higher.

I find that clients don’t mind paying me a £20 deposit as it’s a small token and I have a lot of aw feedback in the hundreds. So I politely tell them that I am the one with the feedback and good reviews. And when you break it down to them that it makes you feel safer they are ok with it.
