Can anyone help me with a bank payment query. If you send money to someone else's bank account using online banking, key details are bank account number and sort code. Is the surname also key?
Reason I ask is someone has paid some money in to my bank account and I don't know who they are. I'd have thought if they mistyped a bank acc number on the payment then it would bounce back as the surname wouldn't match the account details and the payment would sit in the banks suspense account. This payment is in my account so either the surname is irrelevant or someone has sent meant to send me money.
Been to the bank today and they've said they can't trace it. They've put it in my savings account while they investigate and see if the sender requests it back, and to pop back in to the branch in a month if its not been requested. I don't want the money and just want to send it back. Just a little confused as to how this happens :S
