How to transfer money to Nationwide Savings account?

Hi,

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I have set up Nationwide Savings accounts for my children and am really confused about account numbers;

they all use the same sort code of 070093 and the same bank account number of 33333334. The only unique identifier is what they call "account number/reference" printed in the passbook. I won't put they what are but the format is this: 1234/123 456 789.

When transferring money from a different bank, what details do I use exactly?

Thanks in advance.

    I would imagine it is...
    sort code 070093
    account number 33333334
    reference 1234/123 456 789

    When you set up a payment facility from another bank, you will be asked for all three. It's rather like when you pay money to a crdit-card account; the sort code and account number are generally the same for everybody with the credit-card number being the only distinction between different people's credit-card account.

    You will need to set up a separate payment facility for each child using the individual reference number for each child.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I have tried it as suggested with £1. What you say makes sense though, I can't see it going wrong (**crosses fingers!**) :D
