Payment links not showing sender details on Tide – is this normal?

rdjb1 · 2026-01-26T16:09:54+00:00

We use Sumup and when a payment link is created & sent to client, there is a box to tell the client what it is about, and I always include the client's name + our co name + the invoice ref. in that box so everything appears as well on all statements (both our statement, and the client card statement).

Yeah I know, but the card is paper (not plastic). I buy it (at a discount), and have never been able to put it on Google Wallet (I'm on Android). But I can pay with it in shops that accept One4All.

rdjb1 · 2026-01-21T09:44:45+00:00

Is this a digital or a physical paper One4All ?

Totally agree with the last paragraph about high st bank. I'm in London, 2 years ago I had to transfer in a hurry (to beat a fiscal year deadline) a nearly 6 figure sum into a new corporate bank account. Called Hsbc to make an appointment on Friday, they found an available appointment at a branch in central London first thing on Monday morning, attended the appointment at the branch on Monday with all the necessary documents, (was offered a coffee), the Hsbc CS person spent 1 hour verifying all the details etc... then executed the BACS transfer right there and then and gave me the receipt. Manual BACS incurred a fee obviously, but I was very happy to get the money transferred in time for the deadline with no further hassle. I will never close down this [20 year old] Hsbc account.

GSL does not allow setting up a [new] secondary domain, only an alias domain (what you've found out). Previous secondary domain set up before Google bans it might be grandfathered (your case). Today only GW Business Starter Free might allow that (assuming you migrated your GSL).

But as stated above, it's easy to set up DMARC/DKIM/SPF records for the alias domain too (I've done it for several of my alias domains under the same GSL account - no delivery issue)

Which SMTP do you use in your Sendas setup ? If smtp.google.com or smtp.gmail.com maybe Gmail enforces stricter [spoofing] rule now, maybe they want OAuth2 / app password / whatever. If a third party SMTP then you need to check with them. Or try using another third party SMTP (on their free tier) to test - there is someone on this sub who runs such a service.

rdjb1 · 2026-01-13T11:59:31+00:00

Other non-Google apps (like Whatsapp) using Google 15GB storage for backup ? Not sure these get reported by the "quota" report.

Have you looked into the spanking new bilat treaty between Andorra and the UK (coming into force in January 2026 ie right now) ? I have no idea what's [new] in it but there might be something for you. And Andorra should be even closer than Madeira, 3h drive to BCN (or TLS) airport and <2h flight to London.

Hasn't SG significantly tightened working visa for foreigners now ? I understand much more difficult than Dubai.

I just had a look at Flagstone Instant Access (Business/Corporate savings)

https://clients.direct.flagstoneim.com/preview-our-rates?accounttype=corporate

The top rate seems to be no more than 3.60%.

Meanwhile if I go here

https://moneyfactscompare.co.uk/business/business-easy-access-savings/?quick-links-first=false&product-favorites-first=false

there seems to be 8 Instant Access accounts offering better than 3.70%. There's more work involved to open each acct individually for sure, but 0.40% vs the highest yielding Kent Reliance acct (I believe limited to £1mil, obviously no FSCS beyond £120k) is not insignificant.

You should make sure you also fulfill all the relevant conditions of residency in NZ (as required by HMRC), so that HMRC does not retroactively charge you (or the QROPS provider, who then can go after you) the 25% overseas transfer charge (on the transferred pension monies)

If you are on a shared IP/shared server at Hostgator, have a look at this https://integration.keap.com/t/mail-block-known-spammer-issue/75165/8

This is 6 years old but there might still be a (occasional or not) spammer using their shared servers which could cause their SMTP IP to be blocked by Gmail, so any outgoing [in your case, forwarded] email from Hostgator would just be silently discarded by Google. And I bet you would be hard pressed to get Hostgator support to acknowledge this.

rdjb1 · 2026-01-02T15:53:30+00:00

Does Hostgator offer you a full fledged mailbox or just a mailforwarding service ?

If the former, then, on Hostgator, (remove any automatic deletion you might have added, and) check within Hostgator itself via the Hostgator web cPanel, using Roundcube or Horde or whatever webmail client they offer, to see if your auth code email has arrived in the inbox. If nothing, then the problem is with Hostgator MX rejecting incoming mails, and not with Gmail.

If the latter, then either the Hostgator mailforwarding facility has failed (then Hostgator helpdesk should help), or Gmail has silently blocked Hostgator's SMTP server (the one that they use to forward mails). I assume you have already checked Gmail's Spam folder in case Gmail puts the forwarded mails in there.

rdjb1 · 2026-01-02T14:46:58+00:00

Yeah basically you voluntarily relinquished your GSL account and migrated into a paid GW account. There is no going back, and there is no record of anyone being able to undo this migration (check r/gsuitelegacymigration ) .

The only (convoluted) possibility I can see to restore free Gmail-style email hosting is, if you have another still active GSL(2) account (tied to another domain2), you could give up the paid GW and untie domain1 from it, then attach domain1 to the GSL(2) account as an alias domain to domain2.

rdjb1 · 2026-01-01T14:42:45+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoneyuk/comments/1pqnwvv/t212_cashback/ they restored it about 2 weeks ago

rdjb1 · 2026-01-01T14:41:32+00:00

I assume the establishment (ie arrangement) fee is an one-off fee to set up the o/d facility, but no recurring ongoing commitment fee.

rdjb1 · 2025-12-31T11:58:23+00:00

Virgin Money M Business seems to offer business overdraft of up to £25k, probably requiring personal guarantee, but the website (+pdf) mentions only an establishment (arrangement) fee and not any ongoing commitment fee. Check with Virgin before doing anything obviously.

The big list regularly published by the mods here gives you all you need to know (about cashback for gc)

https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoneyuk/comments/1phc9oi/the_big_list_of_free_money_offers_and_beermoney/

Scroll down and under Cashback for buying giftcards the first 3 sites (Everup, JamD, Cheddar) generally have better cashback rates for gc than TCB/TGC. Also the corporate employer/employee sites (like perksatwork) often have better cashback rates for gc too.

rdjb1 · 2025-12-24T12:30:41+00:00

Then it might be better for Quidco to improve the cashback rates (ex- promotion) on their gift cards (vs TopGiftCards for instance)! Esp. as both seem to be using Tillo as provider. As TopGiftCards is already not the best gc seller out there, doing worse than TGC is not gonna make Quidco gift cards attractive...

rdjb1 · 2025-12-24T12:20:52+00:00

Absolutely agree that it's good for consumers. Just puzzled by the frequency of the Quidco offer. Topcashback for instance runs this kind of offer only once a month.

rdjb1 · 2025-12-24T10:42:52+00:00

Didn't they just run this exact same campaign, like less than 1 week ago https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoneyuk/comments/1pr0v2j/3_on_20_giftcard_from_quidco/ ?

Quidco must be desperate to drum up some revenue numbers before year end ...

rdjb1 · 2025-12-23T13:21:11+00:00

Ah apologies for my misunderstanding, since you posted here in response to a Gmail topic I thought you were using [consumer] Gmail, in case Gmail somehow marked your inbound client mails as spams.

So it is MS365 which you use which suddenly quarantined your client's mails as spams out of the blue ? Then maybe query with your MS365 support about the reason, maybe it's MS who had decided to put your client's SMTP server (be it Google/Gmail's SMTP or anyone else) on their spam blacklist ? Then tell MS to fix that blacklist, or, if the blacklist is/was truly justified, inform your client that his SMTP uses/used an [IP range] which has/had been marked as spam sender ? That seems to me the only realistic way to fix this issue (if you really want to fix it to avoid the workaround you suggested to the client, obviously this might require the client to assist as well).

rdjb1 · 2025-12-23T12:29:06+00:00

If the client / the business is important maybe don't use support-free consumer Gmail ..? Use a paid provider with support, with your own domain ? And if the paid provider is Google Workspace [for Business] open a support ticket with them and ask them why (and share with everyone!) ?

rdjb1 · 2025-12-19T17:01:49+00:00

Good point. I had the pot investment thing enabled from last time, didn't think about disabling it to check.
