Barclays Saver
 

All,

anyone had any experience with a Barclays Saver on PayPal?

If so, which saver was it that you used?

Thanks

I have used their everyday saver and both online account types that they have (can't remember what they are called specifically), and they all worked fine. So all Barclays savings accounts are good.

OK, moving onto currrent accounts with Barclays & HSBC... do they both require 'credit checks' because all the accounts I have searched for on both say they require it. However, I thought there must be a sought of account where its just an 'ID check' with these banks?

All current accounts from any bank require a full credit check.

Basic accounts require only an ID and address verification check which if these details cannot be verified electronically then you need to take the appropriate documents in to a branch to complete the application.

NoneOther - I couldn't find an account on Barclays OR HSBC that is just a 'basic account' is there such a thing?

Yes but you need to ask for them in branch normally.

For Barclays it's called the "Cash Card" account. Not sure about HSBC.

use smile.co.uk

yes you can apply for basic account online. just search it, use google or within bank website search engine. Usually they offer current accounts on front pages, because they want to sell it to you. Every bank offers Basic accounts, (usually called cash accounts) they dont require credit check from you. its easy to apply. I have done it with Halifax. 5 min and bank is ready :) Most important thing is to not confuse current account with cash account. You need to understand those products that Bank is offering to you. Read Terms and Condition etc. or do proper search on this forum

i have used it sucessfully. havnt used it for a few months though.
regular barclays cc works fine as well.

so ulsterbank & smile account accept deposits?? use as savers or normal accounts??

Ive tried to send the deposits to an everyday saver but they havent appeared.

You say these work do they really?

CLYDESDALE BANK PLC - anyone with feedback on this?

Readycash is a basic and can see no reason why it will not work.

have you rung for the application yet ?

Re: Barclays Saver
 

I suppose these Scottish banks have English branches in the bigger cities. Despite my profile flag, I haven't been there in ages.

I suppose you cant open savings accounts online without having an existing account. I'm overseas now and don't come back to UK.that often.

ULSTABANK Is in ireland and no branchs in the u.k, Don't let little details like that put you off.

Ulsterbank is part of the RBS group so you can get help if needs be in most branches of RBS or Nat West.

As Tiz says, location of bank is a minor issue.

Probably true for RBS and HBOS (Halifax) but I doubt if you'll find many Clydesdale branches south of the border.

They and Yorkshire Bank are owned by NAB Group Australia.

Not a chance, my local branch in Dalkey and RBS is no help whats so ever in regards to banking issues for ulsta, they will give you the telephone number if you ask nicely and also offer you to open an account with themselves but thats about your lot.

That's a result then, another new bank account.

Interesting guys.

Thanks for your advice / help.

that was the point of my first post in the thread, most people missed i guess.

is that a cousin of the ULSTERBANK then?

:boink:

Ulsterbank is in both Eire and Northern Ireland.

Nice lot of people to be sure

:cheer:

To be sure

Noooooooo, its the the cousins, dad's, sister son's nephews, brothers auntie.........inlaw

its the Daaags

Tap a the maaaaaring.

I have been using barclays, and it works

so what happens if you need to take your documents in to a local branch and its 100 miles away??

There's usually an option to post them.

I did this when opening a NatWest account. Nearest branch was 35 miles away.

Thats great Help thank you

Re: Barclays Saver
 

Hi guys, I need help. How can I add my Bank of Scotland access saver card to my paypal account which is also asking for CSC but my BOF card does not have any CSC... So how should I do it?? Thanks a lot :-)

Ps: it is for my new stealth account

Re: Barclays Saver
 

it cant be a proper debit/spending card then, savers usually do not issue debit cards anyway - otherwise would have 3 digits at back otherwise.

Re: Barclays Saver
 

If you are adding your own card details then it is not stealth anyway. Try entropay.

Re: Barclays Saver
 

Oh my is entropay something like paypal?? Never heard about It and is It safe for my eBay stealth account?? If i am gonna register for enttopay do i have to use my real name and address?? Because well my eb and pp are stealth 😁😁😁

Re: Barclays Saver
 

for entropay, yes you sign up as you would with your bank and you can then generate handy visa cards.

or get a 3v voucher /card from a shop.

Re: Barclays Saver
 

OK thanks �� but i have bank of scotland card which i can not use ( cause pp with this bank is already limited lol ����) and then i have applied for bank of scotland saving account card( but there is no VCC) someone told me i can apply for this card but i dunno.. So what you think?? I am already registered on entropay but they Re asking for debit/credit card or for bank account.. I dunno what i should use..

Re: Barclays Saver
 

How can i generate handy VISA cards?? :-)

Re: Barclays Saver
 

sign up for entropay first, play with the system and ask questions if unsure - we do not spoon feed here

Re: Barclays Saver
 

You DO NOT use your own bank cards to add to paypal. This would not be safe stealth.

Entropay is your friend.

There must be dozens of threads about this on the forum. Search and research, the answers are all already out there. ;)
