I had major problems with Barclays....they asked for a list of rifles owned by the club members!!..I had a big row with the Business branch and finally got some sense...No doubt , having the word "Rifle" in your club name is a problem..
I think that Barclays closed up the hut they held at Bisley? Def anti shooting. One alternative is to open a joint account with the club treasurer and secretary as joint holders...no mention of shooting.

How would you cash a cheque with the club's name on?hitchphil wrote:Why doesn't the treasurer just open a simple visa debit card account in their name, put all the working funds in there & send the statements to the chair or Sec so its all above board?
Re: Club Bank Accounts
you dont - cheques are made out to the name of the treasurer & transfers are easier so cheques become mostly obsolete.christel wrote:How would you cash a cheque with the club's name on?hitchphil wrote:Why doesn't the treasurer just open a simple visa debit card account in their name, put all the working funds in there & send the statements to the chair or Sec so its all above board?

Re: Club Bank Accounts
I agree with the transfer however the name on the cheque is important from a tax point of view.hitchphil wrote:you dont - cheques are made out to the name of the treasurer & transfers are easier so cheques become mostly obsolete.christel wrote:How would you cash a cheque with the club's name on?hitchphil wrote:Why doesn't the treasurer just open a simple visa debit card account in their name, put all the working funds in there & send the statements to the chair or Sec so its all above board?

Re: Club Bank Accounts
How many clubs (not just shooting clubs) have had their treasurers do a runner with the funds???
We use Bank of Scotland and have done since the club started in the 60's.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
Transfers depend upon electronic banking, I won't send money by transfer as I have lost money this way in the past so not trustworthy.
That is irrelevant anyway as one of my banks has just updated their service and their internet banking is only available to microshite OS and Explorer or Chrome browsers!
All of which I choose not to use. So with the closure of the branches I have no way of managing the account, life is too short to have to listen to shite music for ages with telephone banking.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
Our club is with HSBC. We've had the same account for about 50 years now.
It's a very basic current account but it is free.

Re: Club Bank Accounts
Shooting clubs - None ever........ if you trust a member with a rifle why not the fiances? & the account can get interest too. Best advantage might be you can just pay for ranges, ammo, bits etc over the phone or at point of sale as a visa & you have a record of the purchase for accounts in the statement & can also record subs etc as ref=name.Andy632 wrote:How many clubs (not just shooting clubs) have had their treasurers do a runner with the funds???
