I have subscribed to Archive for many a year.
Last year when Gavin Smith took over I sent my subscription to
him using his name as the payee.
This year I received with my last magazine with a slip saying that and I quote...
"It is easy to resubscribe - plase turn over for payment methods."
Not so using UK bank transfer is a totally different account with an IBAN number etc.
However trying to pay Gavin this way I hit a major problem in that my bank requires the account name to fulfil their security protocol.

Gavin has NOT provided this name and having sent an email to
gavin at archivemag dot co dot uk
I have not had a reply.
Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this impasse?
I suppose I could send a cheque to the address given but in this day and
age why?
Hi John
When I make a payment using electronic banking my bank retains the
details, so I can reuse them as I do for Gavin (and for others). Are the details from your last payment not still held?
I thought I set up the instruction with Gavin as Payee, but on checking I find it says 'Abbey Press' and it has gone through the interbank
validation process, so you should be OK using that.

The website -- http://www.archivemag.co.uk/+prices.php -- says use "Gavin Smith" as payee for the Starling Bank account mentioned above (which seems odd, as cheques are payable to "Archive Magazine"). There are full details
of sort code and account number there, too (plus IBAN, PayPal and cheque).

Not clear what you are trying to do? are you outside the uk? if outside
then IBAN is relevant, if you are paying UK bank to UK bank then all you
need are sort code, account number and account name . All the info is on
the web site for archive magazine, plus options for paypal and old
fashioned cheque.

But you do not need to use IBAN unless you are overseas,
i.e. outside the UK or channel islands

This name checking business has been appallingly badly
implemented, made worse by the fact that there seems to be
no standard implementation.
I recently had the following nonsensical experience with
Nationwide:-
Bank: Please enter the name on the a/c:
Me: xxx xxx xxx (West Oxfordshire) xxx
Bank: Error! the following chracters may not be used in an
a/c name - ( )
Me: xxx xxx xxx /West Oxfordshire/ xxx (/ was on the
permitted list)
Bank: Error! The name almost matches. The actual name on the
a/c is xxx xxx xxx (West Oxfordshire) xxx. Do you want to
continue?
Followied by the usual dire warnings.
This sort of thing just brings the whole thing into
disrepute and encourages people to ignore the checks.
BUt, A charity, of which I am chairman, was making a
significant donation to another charity. the email was
intercepted and the recipients account details changed.
This was 3 years ago, before all these checks. Luckily our
bank smelt a rat and didn't make the transfer.
