Banks may reject on a name. When I worked in a clearing house, we never rejected a deposit on that basis. Usual practice was to 'reject' if an account had incorrect numbers.
But, regardless, the banks put those funds into suspense accounts AND take interest. Our prime concern was to balance the takings for that day. And to make sure funds were earning interest for the bank & shareholders.
Paypal does make the statement names must be correct. It's their contribution to go along with various regulations in force in the countries they operate.
I've mentioned elsewhere that my transfers are fequently in stoopid names. Was SO upset tnoone picked up the transfer in the name of The Cow Jumped over The Moon. I do that deliberately. As you know, it's not a branch that does the transactions. All other details are correct & the funds make it to my account. :D
