Sort Code & Account Number on debit card

[Deleted User]

Thanks all, useful to know.

Guess it's just for ease of use if you need to set-up a Direct Debit or provide your details for payments.

Much easier than people having to carry around a cheque book or statement..

Most people will have a debit card on them these days rather than the above.

Bank of Cyprus UK and Metro Bank have the sort code and account number on the card

Norwich & Peterborough has the sort code , but the account number is hidden in the card number

I know my HSBC one. It was only because when they had solo cards, the card number was 6767sortcode accountnumber, so whenever I had to do any online orders I would be entering the 6767, then sortcode, then account number.

Just to let people know the SOLO scheme is being permanently decommised this year, think it is 31 March or there abouts. So if you have a SOLO card it is time to get it replaced.

First Direct also print both sort code and a/c number.

In fact, the sort code and a/c number are the only thing that differentiate the debit card from their credit card. Easily confused on a dark night
