Silly Question, BUT, where would i find my sort code?

TechTerry

Hello all, Just got my new current account setup, im only 16 so first time i have done this, i have received all my papers, online banking ID and visa debit card.

I want someone to pay me via bank transfer, but i need to give them my sort code, where would i find this? Would it be on my visa debit card?

Also what else would i need to give them to allow them to pay me?

Thanks
Terry

I think you would just need account number, sort code and your name and the banks name.

Your sort code should be on your debit card, usually a 6 digit number. If not then it will be on your cheque book.

it is the 6 digit number before the longer number on your debit card

Right im with alliance and leicester, the card has the name of the bank, then below that a gold chip thing, below that is a 16 digit number broken up to 4 parts, below that their is valid fro and expires, then below that their is a number in the format:

xx xxx xxxx then on the other end of the card is a number ( next to the visa logo )
Then my name

I do not have a check book

It may not be on your debit card. Look at the top of any correspondence you have been sent for a six digit number starting with 72.

You don't say what type of account it is but the xx xxx xxxx is probably your account number. If it's a Premier current a/c, to work out your sort code, take the first digit from your nine-digit account number and add it to the end of 72-50-0. For example, if your nine-digit account number begins with a 2, your sort code would be 72-50-02. Other account types may be different. If you want to set up a direct debit or arrange to have payments paid into your account, you will need to quote an eight-digit version of your account number. To do this, simply take off the first digit from your account number. For example, if your account number is 123456789, your eight-digit number would be 23456789.

BTW, I'm surprised you haven't received this information in your welcome pack! Or maybe you have and you've missed it?

Most of them show the 6 digit sort code as nn-nn-nn (eg 72-50-01) on the card (think A&L are 72-50-somethings)

Nice one, i have my account number, looks like this is the case, but does that mean they only have 9 diffrent sort codes for the whole of A&L?

EDIT: Looked through all papers and online, all i have is plus saver account number, pin's and current account number.

An easy way to check your sort code is to go onto online banking and click on order stationery, where you can request a cheque book.

In the front of the cheque book it says something in effect of: "use this sort code and account number for transfer money with banks outside of A&L" and a longer 9 digit number for using within the bank

Unlike other Visa Debits (LTSB, Barclays), the standard sort code and account number aren't printed on it, just the 9 digit account number
