If you dont mind waiting take a cheque.
Just pay it in. The wheels grind slow, but cheaply.
Its not possible to drain your account just knowing the sort codes and
account number. Check with your bank, but normally only YOU can
authorize outward transfers.
Either by some telephoned shared secret, your physical signature, or
some kind of PIN.
The information to allow a wire transfer in is no more than you give
away on any cheque you write.
