MattR 177 Posted October 16, 2019 Or, depending on how your business is set up, pay cash into your personal account and transfer it later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smile nicely at girl behind the counter when your paying a questionable amount of cash into your personal account. Then I get the wife to transfer it back as I leave that account for her to run. Usually at this point she suggests a million things she has bought for the kids that I owe her for, holding me totally to ransom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted October 16, 2019 Bank transfer is definitely not fraud free, payments can be recalled back and with some added security checks can take 2 days to process. Still my second choice after finance though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which council is this? Not like they are already ripping us off with increased council tax to fund their little projects now they want you to bank with them? I wouldn't trust them.

David Horgan 564 Posted October 17, 2019 I seriously could not manage without a card terminal . No credit cards though under any circumstances only debit card Card terminals are fast at point of sale and that's a serious plus for me , had 4 customers on Sunday and it has to be fluent and fast ,Sale complete , Invoice , Card in terminal , warranty booklet , pass them onto handover person and next customer please . Last bank transfer i took he could only pay £10,000 and he owed £10,795 , created me some time to sort that out . Finished up him borrowing money off his mother and me waiting for it to arrive which took two bloody hours . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That explains why you're friendly lol 2 hours ago, JA Trader said: Last bank transfer i took they had to leave and come back the next day as they couldn't get the transfer to come through there and then. Exactly. Had this idiot once he said its instant because he sent money to himself before and it was instant. Yet clearly it said up to 2 hours... And then thats not always guaranteed as payments can be selected for security.... And that delays things by hours Edited October 17, 2019 by TangoVictor32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be instant. Bank transfers can not always be there for immediate use however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
