Sort code on debit card and receipt are different from each other

book12

After depositing cash today at the bank, the receipt was handed by the cashier to confirm the transaction. I saw the branch sort code on the receipt is different from the one stated on my card.

I have opened my account last week, and deposit the cash today, both at the same branch. I thought the sort code will be the same for my card.

Should I assume the sort code is printed incorrectly on my card?

It doesn't bother me, but just curious the reason behind it.

noh

Put only the sort code into this checker

and it will tell you the address of the branch.

Thanks for the link. After entering both sort codes, it comes up with the same address. This is strange.

Even though, the sort codes display the same addresses, the post code is different.

Is this a Barclays receipt? These tend to have the branch name and sort code at the top followed by the account credited below. Are you getting confused?

Yes, it's a Barclays receipt. It also has the branch name and sort code at the top followed by the account cerdited below.

The card displays a different sort code from the one on the receipt. I have opened my account and deposit the cash both at the same branch.
