I checked my bank statement with Nationwide online yesterday and discovered a Bank credit of £0.01p from a source with only a R as a sort code

Was R with 8 digits behind it

I phoned Nationwide and they could not identify where it had come from

Any idea's

Thanks

Have you used your debit card recently to prove your identity?

I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

What is the reference?
I can be someone wanting to test your account - legitimately or not

PayPal sometimes do this but I can't remember the code they use.

I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

The only reference is the capital R in front of 8 digits

R plus 8 digits sounds like an internal transfer from a Nationwide account.

Internal transfers show as 'Tranfer From' with the full account number as reference.
