Did it ask you to take ID into the bank or did they just open/approve it?

The Halifax online savers work just fine, you can have about 4 in ADDITION to 3 current accounts. Thats 7 accounts for receiving money with 1 bank

Everytime I opened a bank account, I asked about how many account can I open with this bank. They told me as much as I wanted as long as I pay the fees. I explained im selling on Ebay and needed 1 account for each product. So theres no excuse for that. Lets say you open 8 bank accounts and open 5 account in each, its 40 Paypal... Its quite enough... I think. If its not enough open a few US account with VCC and VBA... I mean you can have 100 accounts without problem. No need for your son bank account, I think.

Just realized it wasnt Halifax in Canada, so I dont know about in the UK. Hope you got same rules as here for bank accounts. Good luck

so the moral of the story is some banks dont like Paypal and wont let you operate with them

I wouldnt say that. The issue is that you are using a childs account for your money and they didnt like that.

Are you going for the title of ...................................... ? ( fill in the blanks).


It is misuse and abuse by the people using the bank accounts that make the issues.

Correctly used majority of banks in the UK are fine for paypal use.

So stop with these weeping tales of woe that you made happen because of your own actions.

Learn to use banks correctly.

Good Luck

I know its stressful, but be glad and relieved that they actually decided to give it to you in the end, since you obviously used mismatched names

right so bank they no it was mismatched and how wud they no that?

[JamesNorth101]

The bank would know that it was a mismatched name because its the bank you are trying to deposit into.... The bank will be able to see the incoming name on the deposit and the name attached to the account.

The bank account selected would be designated by the Bank as one for minor or children to use. There would be age restrictions.

You said it was yore lad's account yourself.

Are you being a WUM?

[stevebills]

Now i got it the bank spotted a mismatch and closed the account down makes sense now
