    If you don't want to, you can be paid by Paypal. I have only recently joined so have not received any of my payments yet, but there are plenty of people on here who have used them for a long time.

    My self and my husband have been with Quidco for a year now, we have never had any problems receving payments via our bank details. As safe as any i would say

    Yes it is safe. Far safer than giving them to Paypal.

    You're only filing your Sort Code / Account number with them? That's detail which you give to anyone you issue a cheque to (and also visible on a lot of Debit Cards).

    Yes - safe as most places.

    Like the OP I have recently joined Quidco (already up to £130:T ) so I hope my question may be of use to her as well.
    I want my money to build up and perhaps only draw it once a year. If I do not enter any bank details until say 1 month before I want it will that be OK?
    Then after it has been paid do I remove my bank details again?

    I know you can set a minimum pay out. Might be worth setting that quite high instead?

    Better, in that case, to set the minimum payout to a value that keeps your money with them.

    Better still .... to set it lower and put the proceeds into a savings account. Quidco don't pay interest and ... whilst they appear to be safe .... they're not FSA regulated as far as I'm aware. So better all round to take your money in regular chunks, rather than use them as a savings account?
