Santander 123 DD Address

Hi,

I've just opened a 123 account online and my debit card arrived today with the sort code and account number on. I wanted to start swapping my direct debits (manual switch) straight away to avoid Christmas delays making me miss my first month's cash-back and interest but I don't have a bank address to use. Any ideas? Sort code is 09-01-28 if that makes a difference.

  • Hi,

    I've just opened a 123 account online and my debit card arrived today with the sort code and account number on. I wanted to start swapping my direct debits (manual switch) straight away to avoid Christmas delays making me miss my first month's cash-back and interest but I don't have a bank address to use. Any ideas? Sort code is 09-01-28 if that makes a difference.
    In the front of my Santander 123 cheque book is this:

    When filling out forms for Direct Debits etc use the following address
    Santander
    P O box 382
    Prescot street
    London
    E1 8RP
  • Thanks very much!

    A sort code validator gives:


    Bridle Road
    Merseyside

    L30 4UA


    ie the old A&L offices


    in reality it won't matter which you use

    Mines Bradford - and this is the address on my cheque book, but I don't believe it is required - just a throwback to when mandates were posted.

    The council wants it, according to their website, I'll ring them tomorrow. All the others I've changed online , and you are right they didn't ask for address. Thanks everyone!

    For anyone who's come across this thread (like I did when searching for this information), I messaged Santander for the current address for direct debit mandates. They said:


    Good Morning, Thank you for your email.

    I have received your secure message confirming that you are trying to complete a mandate form and it has asked you provide an address for your bank.


    Please complete your mandate form using the address below:


    Santander UK
    9 Nelson Street
    Bradford BD1 9NR


    I hope that helps. It's the official response!!!!
  • I was given the following as the address to use when I spoke to the call centre a few days back:

    Santander
    Banking and Savings Reg.
    PO Box 1109
    Bradford
    BD1 5AN
  • Funny as I have phoned Santander CS to ask the same question. I was told to use any branch address. Found it bizarre but hey ho. Anyway I have submitted my council tax DD request and it went fine, as branch address is not cross-checked.

    I have for years given the address of my banks accounts as "online" as that's what my online account are . Never had a problem with that.
  • There's no need for an address if you've got the sort code is there?
