At Driven By Vintage, we accept payment by bank transfer only to ensure secure transactions and keep costs down for our customers.
How It Works
1. Place Your Order
Browse our collection and add items to your cart. Complete the checkout process on our website.
2. Receive Bank Details
Once you place your order, you'll receive an email confirmation with:
- Our bank account details
- Your unique order reference number
- The total amount to pay
- Payment instructions
3. Make Payment
Transfer the full amount to our bank account using your preferred banking method (online banking, mobile app, or in-branch). Important: Include your order reference number in the payment description so we can match your payment to your order.
4. Payment Confirmation
Allow 1-3 working days for your payment to clear. Once we confirm receipt of cleared funds, we'll send you a payment confirmation email and begin processing your order for dispatch.
Why Bank Transfer Only?
Security: Bank transfers are one of the safest payment methods, with no risk of card fraud or chargebacks.
No Hidden Fees: We don't pass on card processing fees to you, keeping our prices competitive.
Direct & Reliable: Payments go straight to our account with full traceability.
Ideal for High-Value Items: For vintage pedal cars worth thousands, bank transfer provides peace of mind for both parties.
Payment Timeline
- Order placed: Immediate email with bank details
- Payment processing: 1-3 working days to clear
- Order dispatch: Within 5 working days of cleared payment
Total time from order to dispatch: Typically 6-8 working days
Important Information
Double-Check Bank Details
Always verify the bank account details in your order confirmation email match our official details. If you have any doubts, contact us directly before making payment.
Include Your Order Reference
This is crucial! Without your order reference number in the payment description, we may not be able to identify your payment quickly, which could delay your order.
Payment Must Clear Before Dispatch
We cannot dispatch your order until payment has fully cleared in our account. This protects both you and us.
Keep Your Payment Receipt
Save your bank transfer receipt as proof of payment. You may need it if there are any queries.
International Customers
We accept international bank transfers. Please note:
- Your bank may charge international transfer fees
- Exchange rates apply (pay in GBP)
- International transfers may take 3-5 working days to clear
- Contact us for international shipping quotes before ordering
Payment Security
We will never:
- Ask you to pay to a personal account
- Request payment via unusual methods (gift cards, cryptocurrency, etc.)
- Change bank details at the last minute without prior arrangement
