Are any savers accounts still working on uk paypal ?
 

Has anyone in the last week tried using any savers account to add as a bank account
i am aware lloyds tsb , natwest and halifax didnt work anymore but i tried with my barclays which were cast iron workers suddenly arent accepted as " they dont accept electronic transfers "
if anyone has used in the past 7 days a tried and tested savers account please share the info
many thanks

Super, Read the Means To An End List in the subscribers' section. UK banks are pretty much current.

simple answer is no

not anymore

I just opened up some lloyds current accounts...will these be any good for stealth accounts?

yes the current account will work

cheers buddy

When selecting an account, try to look for one described as 'current', 'direct' or similar words. The main point is to be sure that any account will allow the Direct Debit mandate for those pesky paypal deposits:cheer:
In 98% of the UK banks, the info is on their website. It is a matter of looking or if necessary speaking to their customer service.:peace:

thought as much. cheers.

PS we got Chelsea in the draw :P

Saver accounts are finished now:croc:





ps: :bounce:Bring it on!:cheer::cheer:

Hi,
I have been using a natwest savers account for almost a year. After a suspension I found this forum and followed all the precious info and had no problems since. However I had not looked here for a while as had too many things on the go. I know this discussion is a little old but I am a bit concerned as supersella123 mentioned natwest does not work any longer. Does this mean that I will have problems eventually?
If anybody reads this, I would appreciate any advice offered.
Thanks in advance

If PayPal didn't withdraw the bank account citing various different reasons then you should be OK.

Thank you so much getaroundebay for response. i was very concerned. Had not transferred money into bank account for a while and was afraid after reading this thread.
Thanks again

Whenever I add a saving account, it gets me verified, then 2 days later it gets withdrawn.

If it is still on, I wouldnt worry too much.

Although in an email from PayPal, I was told that they no longer accept savings accounts and it must be a current account (we all knew that anyway) but why don't they remove the savings account box on the DD instruction?

Good question, as it is still there had not thought much of it. Untill I found this thead.........

Well if you are at all worried, get another bank account.

If the account is worth it, why not?

Will do. I might get a lloyds or hsbc. Which is better in your opinion?
Can I add it without causing my self problems to the current PP account?
Provided of course that I give allthe same info?
sorry for the 1001 questions.
thanks again for your help

lloyds are to be avoided if you are going full stealth... it has been noted repeatedly that they are sharing info (namely the name on your account) with paypal. If you are using your real name (or a close variation) then lloyds will be fine - I have a silver vantage account I use with Paypal (great for the interest on high balances).

I think HSBC have similar issues.

I recommend Abbey - you can open as many current accounts as you like with them. Their CS is pretty schocking though lol.

PS. I have never had any problems with Natwest either. Their step account is a good basic account and so is their current (though they don't pay interest and maestro is ****e).

CaptainJack

Thank you for all that info captainjack1980!!
Will not ignore it. I know natwest are ok. But already have a step account iwth them, and at the moment I'm using their savers account that's why I was concerned as supersella123 mentioned that their savers accounts were working anymore. I've not had any problems but was concerned I might have soon...
I mentioned lloyds as I'd read somewhere on the forum that they were ok. Obviously not
thanks again

sorry again, is your silver vantage account from lloyds? If so would not work for me, I presume, as my account is full stealth

No probably not a good idea if you are full stealth.

I have found Abbey, Natwest, Halifax, A&L and Nationwide OK for full stealth accounts.

CaptainJack

Thanks for this info captainjack1980. Very useful
thanks for your time, much appreciated

Sorry to be so thick but just to confirm is abbey E saver okay for full stealth or is that also down the toilet?

for the savers that DO work, are there not minimum initial balances or minimum regular amounts that need to be paid in to keep them going? Apart from for people that have too many banks account or cant open for credit reasons, what other advantages are there?

Abi E savers do not work but abi basic saver accounts do allow direct debits , pop inot a branch and open an account same day and cash card will be sent in upto 7 working days.

Hopefully it will work just fine with paypal.

Hi,

I think you are referring to the Abbey Basic Account. This is a standard bank account - not a savings account. However, it is extremely easy to open and as you say, you get the account number the same day.

Yes thats what i meant a Abbey Basic Account, thanks.

Hi There.

I can confirm a SAVINGS account that works 100% with paypal in the UK.

I have been using it now for the past month with no problem, and they accept direct debits.

You nopen the account online at http:Credit Cards | Saving Accounts | Insurance | Egg (yes, it is a bank with a wierd name, egg banking. lol)

it a bond account

it says you take any money out for 2 years or you get charged

If you are referring to the EGG banking account, that is not correct. There are a few different accounts on offer, and the standard savings account has no restrictions like that

how about IGN saver accounts, iver heard they work

sorry i mean ING

Are you sure on this????

I have just tried to add an Egg Savings Account to a PP account and PP won't allow it saying these accounts do not allow the direct debit mandate.

Maybe your account is a current one?

Be careful with the names used to describe bank accounts. For stealth, we are looking for 'basic' 'current' 'key' amongst the names AND the need for the Direct Debit Mandate :ranger:
]

I also tried..... the account allows you to issue the direct debit mandate to an external account but Egg have confirmed it will not accept incoming mandates. The same with the UK version of ING.

Egg don't offer full current accounts.
