Is this just because they don't support account verification?
What message is he actually getting?
You can always send £1 first, make sure it arrives, before sending the rest, as your deposit doesn't have to be made in one go.
Assuming you have opened a genuine Raisin platform account.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)0 -
I had a similar issue with Raisin a couple of years ago. When I tried to transfer the money in, I got a security message from Lloyds telling me to call their fraud department and that they would freeze my account at the end of the day if I didn't do so. It was pretty scary as I needed my telephone banking passcode to call them and I didn't know it, not having used phone banking for years. Fortunately I managed to find where I'd saved it and it was all sorted out on the phone, but it wasn't a nice experience!
Raisin itself is legit but, according to the Lloyds fraud department, it's often used by scammers and that's why they were suspicious of it.Credit card debt: £8530 £8071

My Raisin account is linked to my Lloyds and I've never had any issues..

Raisin Probably doesn't use CoP1
