Think Banking
 

Has anyone used Think Banking on PP and ebay?

can be used on paypal.. It's similar to secure bank account prepaid.. once they accept direct debits then its ok to use

Thanks for that ets. Now, before I get carried away with myself, do PP compare the address when they DD?

no they dont share personal information such as names. Only sort code and account number need to match

Has to be a runner me thinks

all you need to do if you're operating under stealth is to use the same stealth information for both ebay and paypal. When entering the bank information on paypal ensure that the sort code and account number matches your real bank information and you're sorted. Bank and paypal don't share names as everything is done electronically.

Does anyone know what ID Think Bank require? There's no clue on their website and I wouldn't be keen on sending an original passport in the post. So do you know if a scan/photocopy of a passport is enough??

I didn't need to send anything but I am verifiable on the ER and through the credit reference agencies

ER = Electoral Registry

Not Emergency Room :eek:


Depends on the account opened with ThinkBanking what ID they want.

They didn't ask for any
:pop2:

Correct. It's the equation of the risk factor for them.

Enough 'points' it often happens no actual ID needs to be shown. :spy:

Under the 'know your customer' rules it seems that electronic verification is acceptable. Where this is not available they insist on docs. The fact that account details were sent to the address on the electronic file and acted on in a timely manner was enough. No good for ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name jobby though

Last sentence should not apply to an application for a bank account under any circumstances. Bad move by an applicant, daft tbf.

Thanks to you both - useful. Am on ER so should be OK.

How much does Think Banking cost? I have an account with Secure Trust Bank, quite happy with the £12.50 monthly charge.

Whoever the member "Gagi" is - no posts, no thanks, no longevity, please don't pm me asking questions about my activity .......... thank you :amen:

If you're looking for answers perhaps you could start by buying the "stealth guide" rather than asking "dodgy" questions by pm when you have no history.

Think Banking is 14.50 a month, my mum is with them.

But does "Think Banking" accept the DD mandate?

Yes . . . .
:pop2:

Confirmed "GrannyT"? what about stealth names?

If you mean stealth names to open an account I have never done that

If you mean stealth names to download pennies (and pounds) - I have done that

:pop2:

Did you ring this bank for your information ?

i know they accpet dd's but they are managed accounts.

they might of changed latley but although they accept dd's they did not used to work with pypl as the dd account is for all there users, one account for all.


I will watch this with intrest and if it does, Nice find .
