    We Had Airdrie Savings Bank reject a CHAPS payment once as they didnt accept that type of transfer. Utter crap tbh as we had sent one to that account before...

    Just a quick update - changing the account type from "1" to "0" in the Barclays BusinessMaster software did the trick (Although Barclays told us it would make no difference!).

    We put a small amount through via BACS on Tuesday, and its shown up correctly in my Smile account this morning.

    So, partly a case of Smile being pedantic & partly Barclays being clueless I think!
  • tha accoun ttype suffix goes at the beggining of the account number, but only for internal purposes. an 8 digit act number should suffice alog with a 6 digit s/code, there fobbing you off by blaming barclays.
