Savings accounts which accept payments in from a Third Party (not via a 'nominated' account)?

silvermum · 2025-01-26 16:37:13

My adult son and I want to set up a savings account in his name (not joint) where I can pay in regular amounts directly, rather than them having to go via his bank account and require him to transfer them. It seems so many savings accounts only accept payments in from the designated nominated account in the same name?

Halifax didn't have a problem with us (parents) paying into offspring accounts.
