BOS RE: OUTGOING P

Options
Hi

I have a current account with Nationwide, and have received a couple of credits to the account this year - one in March and the other in May (on different dates as well), and for different amounts - one for £40, the other for £47.46 - so there doesn’t appear to be any connection between them except the narrative.

The statement has the details “Bank credit BOS RE: OUTGOING P” for both receipts, with no other information provided. I have spoken with Nationwide who have no extra information except a reference number for one of the payments, but that doesn’t tie up to anything I am aware of.

Google isn’t turning up much in the way of answers, so I wondered if anyone else might have an idea?

Thanks in advance

  • No, they can see the source of credits if they choose to do so but may require a different department.
    Bank credit just means BACS or Faster Payment.

    An obvious question is, have you ever had dealings with Bank of Scotland (or just possibly Halifax - HBOS)?

    Hi! I've just had the very same thing appear on my Halifax account! I'm wondering if you ever found out what this was?

    I had this appear today too.
    I’ve recently exercised the sale of my employers share scheme and the funds I got this morning were for the leftover of my savings which didn’t equate to the price of a full share. Could it be that? 
  • Snap we have also had this yesterday bank have no idea going to ring try again today hopefully, were with santander hubby has do e some share saves but amounts don't add up anyone else any answers ? 
  • I did try to reply to @Emptychangejar but my reply has since vanished into the depths of hyber space! Now after reading the comment from @Kittykatuk82 as well, I think these share schemes could be the answer! I've used the company share save scheme before but it's never showed up on my account with this info....... & yep, the left over amount (if that's what it is) also is not what I would have expected! I'll wait for a breakdown from the company and see if this amount appears on that, but it's looking more likely that this is where this strange amount and account reference have come from! 
  • Hope you manage to get to the bottom of it!

    Yes! I worked out that mine was exactly that! 😊
