most current acounts are fine, steer clear of HSBC, natwest, Llyods according to some forumers who have had probs with differing names, although I cant say Ive had any issues with any of them. If abbey was a good one for you get another with them perhaps. avoid ING.

what can i just walk in there and say i want a new account number and sort code or what ???

thanks for the reply

You didnt say you had any problems with the bank. So yep, that's just what you do. Go to the branch, take your ID and get a current account. It's important to have them as they accept paypal.

To be sure, phone the branch & enquire or look on their website. Good Luck

just to make it easier for you you won't have to leave the house. Go to google, search for co-operative bank. Apply for a standard current account. They require a previous account# code sort etc. Give them this + all the other details you'll have an account in 7days. YEEEHAAAA :-)

ebayerOG · #8 07-09-2010

what and i can 100% link it to paypal and be able to withdraw funds to it ???

thanks

GreenBean · #9 07-09-2010

Yep! That's another option. Plenty of them. And the forum always has a user that can give them to help out

Why avoid ING? Askpin recommended me it through PM and said you could make accounts simply. Then again we're in the US. Maybe it's different for UK residents.

GreenBean · #11 07-09-2010

@creznor, there's a special way of dealing with this bank, and not pertinent to this thread, so follow what aspkin recommended.

Yeah i know what you're talking about (actually I still have some questions about that). Did you check your messages GreenBean? I sent you a message.

GreenBean · #13 07-10-2010

@creznor Yep! Thinking out a reply

Hi Ebayerukg,

I have 2 accounts with Abbey (Santander). It was really easy just walked in and asked to open another account. Told them almost the whole truth about reason for second account "that it makes it easier for me to keep my paypal accounts seperate if I ever need to declare to tax man at some point in the future" yer right!
They snapped my hand off as they obviously get browny points/bonus for new business.

The big plus is that you get your new account number and account opened same day. Dont have to wait a week with a new bank.

Regards

KullDeeSak

hi mate thanks for the reply,im waiting on a co op card to come through but its getting long so i might just go down abbey tomorrow but the problem is what do as ive signed up with ebay and paypal using my middle name as my last what do i do about the new abbey account do i just adjust it when i register the new card to paypal..please get back to me asap so i can get selling,im back on ebay listing but i cant receive funds :(

KulldeeSak · #17 07-22-2010

Sorry took so long, just noticed your last message. You've probably got yourself sorted by now but this might help someone else.

Real details given to your bank. If you went for a second account with Abbey (Santander),they would obviously open account in same details anyway with you already having an account with them.

Doesnt matter what name you put in Paypal as they cant check with most banks anyway.

I have been successful with Cahoot/Abbey/Nationwide/Halifax

With the help from this forum and Stealth Book

but isn't it better to get a bank account in someone else's name? any advice on this?

GreenBean · #19 08-19-2010

Friends and business never mix. Your own real info should be used for making bank accounts. Some may have credit problems but there are enough banks in the UK that will help even them to get an account.

Sounds dodgy to ask that

pending · #20 08-22-2010

no it's not a dodgy thing having a bank account in someone else's name :-) it's just to be super safe, you know, no links...? anyway it seems to be impossible without getting ⊗⊗⊗⊗ data and going into a high branch with a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ driving license or something. don't fancy trying that one :-(
