What is a sort code and where can I find it?
A sort code is a six-digit number used to identify your bank and branch. You’ll often need it when setting up direct debits, receiving payments, or transferring money between accounts.
Where can I find my sort code?
- In Online and Mobile Banking, your sort code is shown as part of a longer number directly beneath your account name. This number combines your sort code and account number—the sort code is the first six digits.
- On your bank statements – under the section titled “Account details”, look for the line that says “Your account number is”. The first six digits shown there are your sort code.
What is the bank’s BIC/SWIFT code?
A BIC (Bank Identifier Code), also known as a SWIFT code, is an international standard used to identify banks and financial institutions worldwide. You’ll need it when sending or receiving international payments.
Our BIC/SWIFT code is: ANILJESH
Where can I find my IBAN?
An IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a unique code used internationally to identify your specific bank account. It’s required for sending or receiving payments from abroad, ensuring your money reaches the correct account.
You can find your IBAN in the following ways:
- On your bank statement – in the Account details section, look for the line that says “The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for your account is”.
- By contacting us – if you can’t find your IBAN, our team will be happy to help.
