    You have nothing to worry about. I think you are being paranoid

    Could you not pay cash at your bank? If they need proof you are a customer show them your card as evidence. Explain to them your reasons for your concerns, however I doubt very much the receiver would have your account details if you paid it via your account.

    There are many people out there who don't like internet banking, it's just personal preference that's all.

    Just ignore the sarcastic comments, you've posted a genuine thread and a concern that is bothering you. I hope my solution helps.

    The beneficiary will have no idea who you bank with. Even if you paid it using your card at LTSB, the beneficiary won't know that you bank with them.
