Scully Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) If I ( having online banking ) want to transfer money to someone who doesn’t have online banking, do I need anything other than their name, sort code and account number, to do so? Or can I not do it? Edited May 3, 2019 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 You don't really need their name to be honest. It shouldn't be an issue to send to someone who isn't registered for online banking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need the name now - to reduce 'invoice spoofing' if the name on the account doesn't match then the transfer will probably fail, it's called 'confirmation of payee'.

Unless it's changed very recently, I've paid people and they've paid me, I didn't know their name and they didn't know mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're existing payees then it's different. But for new payees the new rules apply - I believe there is a minimum sum, under which it might not always apply, but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsbob Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I've just paid an invoice for £652 to a company I have never dealt with before and apart from a name for my reference (not the account name) only the sort and account numbers were needed.
