I'm aware that, contrary to popular myth, paying for something, or receiving funds, via Bank Transfer is quite secure.
However, I was under the impression that to make a payment via Bank Transfer, you needed the Bank name, Sort code, and account number, and nothing else. Is this the case?
I have a buyer for an item who claims that he needs my surname because "they always ask for a surname". As I say, I thought no name was needed, only bank name, sort code, & account number.
Can any of you clarify? Whilst I know that bank transfers are secure, I'm not too happy about handing out all of the above details plus my name.
Cheers!
