Any way to pay someone without using your bank?

Lara_Star

Hi guys!

I just like to know/ask if there is a way to put money into someones account with a 3rd party, basically without going online to your own bank account or going into your own branch... If for example I cannot do online banking and cannot go into my own bank to pay someone then is there another way? such as using other 3rd part online sites? bit like moneygram but I want to pay someone in the UK as am from UK too, but like I said if you cannot do online banking nor going into your own bank account then is there another way or any websites? I have my bank card but I just cannot go online to my account nor can I go into the branch, so how can I put money into their bank account?

Am sure I heard there are websites that let you do that providing they take a fee, if so which sites are these?

thanks guys.

I've used Azimo quite a few times for overseas payment. It looks like I can make a payment to a UK recipient, but I haven't gone through the full payment process.

Paypal, although the money will have to come from somewhere (i.e. your bank) and for any more than trivial sums you or the recipient will probably run into fraud checks pretty quickly.

Why can't you go online to your own account?

Doesn't paypal take 2-4 days to clear funds? what if the reciepement needs the money the same day?

reason why I cannot go into the branch is because am on crutches and don't have transport, I recently broke my leg. I cant do online banking as I have not recieved my online bank account information yet nor a card reader, so am wondering if there is any way other that I can pay some money into someones account today.

Thanks!

Then there is no way. You need to wait.

Can you use phone banking with your existing bank or would that involve a lead time while stuff is sent out as well?

Do you have their Sort Code and Account No?

A cheque payable to them and ask a neighbour to pay in using a blank bank paying in slip.

Or a 1st Class stamp and post today.

^^^ this.

write them a cheque and post it to them, like the whole world did for a couple of centuries until recently.

Moneygram at Tesco branches almost instant.

Neteller card funded with Paysafecard available over the counter at supporting retailers. Then use the Neteller card to transfer money into the bank account. Getting the virtual Neteller card should be instant. Apply for Neteller online.

Western Union available over the counter at supporting retailers. Provide ID including photo ID.

There may be others. I've recommended those which I have personally found useful.

What makes you think that if the OP can't go to a bank branch because they are on crutches, they'd be able to go to Tesco or to retailers that offer Paysafecard or Western Union?
