Transferring Money Online

Can you transfer money, from your online bank account, to a building society account that does not have online access ?

    Yes, you need the account name, sort code, account number and possibly roll number of the recipient.

    Just use those to set up a new payee and hope the BS accepts Faster Payments.

    Yes, as above - the preferred method of accessing either account doesn't affect the ability to send money directly from one to the other.

    You can use a sort code checker to determine what type of incoming payments it accepts.

    Usually yes, but ask your building society for the sort code, account number and reference to be used. Ask whether to make the payment to "Name of Building Society" or to your own name. If the former, you're paying a business; if the latter it's a personal payment.
