But it makes sense for large one off payments. Send £1, phone them to ask if they got it, then send the rest. With instant payments nowadays it takes barely any

People do this all the time. Mum mum did it recently paying for a used car.
Also usually the payment details are saved after the first payment so the risk of making a mistake with the second payment is low. You would reuse the saved payee.
- grabbalacious 7y agoYes. Not sure if you meant this, but I like to send a slightly random amount without informing the payee how much. Then ask them to verify the specific amount, e.g. £1.65 >Also usually the payment details are saved after the first payment so the risk of making a mistake with the second payment is low. You would reuse the saved payee. Exactly. A twist is my bank wipes the saved payees after a few months or so.
