Bank details on invoice??

[chocolate.chip]

Hi
I've just started childminding and I'm writing out my first invoice. Do you put your bank details/registration number on it? I'm going to email invoice to parents and wondering if its safe to put it on there

I put my bank details on so that parents can pay by bank transfer...I don't put my reg number on though.
Can't see too many problems, as people can only use them to pay money in

I do the same x

Only problem would be if parents lose the invoice... I normally give them my details once - and then again if they lose them - not continuously!

Everyone worries about handing over bank details but they are on every cheque, I know cheques aren't widely used these days but you tend to give them to people you don't know eg: the emergency plumber who doesn't accept credit cards.

I do put my registration number on my invoice otherwise everyone would always be asking for it again for tax credits etc - this info is also readily available from the Ofsted website and I have my childcare.co.uk profile linked to my inspection report.

ok thank you. I'll do the same then. Obviously being overly paranoid!
