Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I've got one stealth ebay/paypal open but now i want a backup 2nd stealth a/c problem is i have no other bank account to use. are there any virtual bank accounts that can be used?

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Open another account. Could be with same bank or a different.

There is vba's, but unsure for UK. But they are not preferable anyway. 2nd bank account will be much easier.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

There's no VBAs for UK.

You'll have to open up another bank account with your current bank or another bank.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Hit the search button and search for banks that are good with stealth. Many threads in the forum about that.

Pick one or more that are available, near for you and have a couple accounts opened. That should get you covered

Always a great idea having backup:)

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I'm with CO-OP which is great for stealth

They accept miss matched names which is a must

I applied online for a current account, i was accepted & all my details arrived in the post about a week later :)

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

No VBA's in the UK

Best option is to open more bank accounts

Make sure you do not open too many too fast.

Hello, can you give me some bank in uk can accept withdraw in random name
I use random name to create PayPal account and want to know which bank may accept it. Thank a lot

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

hello
my sis works in Money Shop in UK, they are now offer cc without names, also there is an account attached so that you can send money as to normal bank account, maybe will work with pa pal? has anyone tried it yet?

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I Have used halifax, rbs, co-operative, santanders without any problem......

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Are you able to open up additional accounts on the go through online banking or would you have to go to the bank and request any additional accounts.

I think HSBC allow you to open up additional accounts on the go through online banking.

The main problem is its very difficult to open up new accounts as and when needed with different bank - they do a credit and check.

I was recently refused a new account with RBS:mad:

Problem for me and others in the UK is what do you do once your accounts are dried up - we should have a way to open accounts on the 'fly' to so speak.

I mean you could get a USA IP and then open a VBA - but if your not 100% sure what your doing this could backfire.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

i'm with natwest that seems o.k so far but need a few more backup accounts

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Bank accounts are precious and using them correctly is important. If you are burning through accounts you are doing something terribly wrong.

3-4 accounts with 1 bank is OK. There is a list as long as my arm for banks - hunt the forum. You could easily have 100 ebay accounts if you wanted.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

just found out that those cards are discontinued due to some errors.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Register for online banking with natwest and you can then go online and open 5 saver accounts and link each one to a different stealth account, easy!

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I thought bank accounts HAD to be in your real name.

This is one that I have found : https://www.ffrees.co.uk/home

Its run by Natwest.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Bank account HAS got to be in your real name.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I've got 2 stealth accounts up & running at the mo & i use co operative on them both. Never had a problem

& like JamesNorth101 said, the bank account MUST be in your real name & address. You'd be a bit stupid to think otherwise as it is of course committing fraud :s

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

So thier is such a thing as a virtual bank account in the US that works with stealth?

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Yes, in the US you can get a VBA to verify your PP, but they generally cannot be withdrawn to.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Just a silly question here as I'm not fully into this Stealth act thing yet. My suspension is linked to a RBS current account, so technically can I open a stealth account using my RBS savings accounts?

I can access all the bank accounts online under the same username and password but only the current account was used for eBay so in theory the savings can be used, yes or no?

Thanks.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Saving accounts are not the best to use for PP unless they accept DD mandates.

So long as the account number is different then your fine in using an account from the same bank

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Thanks... I forgot about the DD mandate part for PP.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I've got acc's with Co-op and Smile(part of Co-op) and have to gues that they are very good.Did apply online and got all docs by post,the same with Halifax,Santander and Natwest.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I use tsb, Halifax and Santander saver accounts they all work fine for me.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

I've got a Barclays Saver (in my real name and address) attached to my stealth account. I was always under the impression that if the account is receiving payments from paypal (as opposed to anyone trying to take money out) then it wouldn't matter if the name on the paypal account doesn't match the bank account - and this seems to be true so far.

A few weeks ago, I got a bit carried away and paypal had to take some money out of the linked bank account - which in theory shouldn't happen, surely Barclays should have spotted the mismatched name?? But I was lucky, nothing seems to have happened and everything is running as normal.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Does the surname on PP account not have to be the same as surname on PP bank account?

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Nope.

The name can be completely different.

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Is Co-Op bank still really good for mismatch name deposits from a PayPal account?

I will have 1 stealth so the name will always be the same

Thank you

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Yes, Co-Op is still good for stealth

Re: Bank Accounts dried up - what now
 

Thank you,

Made an appointment today to open a basic account with them for my stealth paypal account.
