Can I send money from an account in a different name?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

You must send money from a bank account that includes your name. This means we can accept payments from:

  • Personal bank accounts in your name

  • Joint bank accounts, as long as you are named on the account

We cannot accept payments from bank accounts that do not include your name (e.g. a partner’s or relative’s account you’re not listed on). We also cannot accept payments from a Business bank account. If this happens, the funds will need to be returned. You can contact us at [email protected] to arrange the return, or we’ll automatically return the money within 5–10 working days if we don’t hear from you.

If your name doesn’t match exactly, for example, due to a recent name change or a double-barrelled surname, we may ask for a bank statement to verify the payment.

Once confirmed, we’ll update our records so this doesn’t happen again.
