Do I need to give my new employer my bank address to receive wages ?

Hello ,
I'm just starting a new job and I filled out the many many onboarding documents . I correctly gave them my bank account details, sort code , name as it appears on my account and bank name but omitted my bank address mainly due to being overwhelmed by that stage in all the documents.
Will I still receive payment without providing my banks address ? 
I apologise it this question has already been asked but I couldn't find it .
Thank you all for your help .

    They almost certainly wont need the address, but you could ask the HR department for peace of mind.
  • The sort code and account is all you need, my "local" branch for my bank is around 2 miles away and I have never been there, it's not necessary in this day and age, if you have an account with a bank like Monzo you wouldn't even have a branch to refer to, just antiquated paperwork

    Things like bank name or address are just a basic check that the sortcode you've given them is correct... it would be a very OTT process if they reject setting up the details because they cannot double check the addresses match but if they did they should contact you as soon as they try to set it up. Certainly they can process the payment without it assuming their processes dont say otherwise.
