By country
The questions people arrive with
- What is a sort code A sort code is the six-digit number that identifies a UK bank and the branch or division holding an account.
- What is a SWIFT code A SWIFT code identifies a bank, not an account.
- What is the bank identification code In the United States, bank identification code is almost always someone's way of asking for the nine-digit routing number.
- What is an IBAN number UK A UK IBAN is 22 characters long and it contains your sort code and account number unchanged, with a country code, two check digits and a four-letter bank code added in front.
- Account number and sort code Every UK payment needs exactly two numbers from the payee: a six-digit sort code that names the bank and branch, and an eight-digit account number that names the account inside it.
- Bank SWIFT code Most banks publish their own SWIFT code openly, because a customer abroad cannot pay them without it.
- Bank sort code checker People reach for a sort code checker at one particular moment: an invoice has arrived, the bank details are new, and something needs verifying before money leaves.
- Sort code finder Two different people search for a sort code finder.
