    There is no way of doing that, as all transactions are recorded for moneylaundering purposes. And in case of errors, missing payments etc

    Paypal would be fine- the person getting the money would have your email address or at the least your name so they knew where it had come from, but they would have no way to access your bank account or paypal account.

    Only problem would be that the person getting the money would also need to have a paypal account themselves and would lose a small % if the money they were taking out was below £50 unless they left it in the paypal account. Paypal can be used for quite a few online transactions so its quite feasable to leave it in there and just use it online.

    You could always load up a gift card- I think Natwest sell them, you do have to pay a few £ to obtain the card and load it but therefter its free to use and load. You could get a card and send it off to someone, no need for the internet.

    Failing that, you could always go speak to your bank- see if they had any ideas.
  • If you send payment by BACS transfer / Faster Payments it doesn't actually show your bank account details anyway.
  • weston money transfere sounds like what you may be looking for, i think its an escro type firm where you have to pay a fee, im sure there are cheaper options though!!!
