Sainsbury’s credit card transfer to NatWest

Allusernamesaretaken

Still trying to pay my Nectar credit card from my existing bank account. Reluctant to send money to random accounts/sort code that I keep being given on the Natwest chat, which will then be " swept/diverted" over to my bill🤔
Not keen to give my 16 digit card number verbally to an agent on the phone either.
No option to pay using the phone, unless I have a Natwest current account.
However- I have been told today that the original link that I have to pay the Sains card is active until November. So trying £1 to see if that is true.🤞🤞

The sort code on my NatWest card statement from 8th October is 62-19-70.

Thank you for the info but it doesnt work for my bank.
It does not recognise the Natwest Nectar card, so it isn't on their list. And I cant try to pay it manually, like a friend, as the acc no and sort code for the Nectar CC are attached to all other Natwest cards, so it wont let me proceed.
Natwest knows there is an issue but no idea when it will be sorted. And my bank are saying that they are unable to add the Nectar CC to the list as Natwest have not given them the info🙈🙈🙈

Are you saying that your current bank won't let you set up a new payee with the same account number and sort code as an existing payee?   Can't you just change the reference to be the Nectar card number?

Is there a reason why you can't pay by Direct Debit?

None of the options work and my bank know that customers are having issues.
I've been on the FBook chat, phoned both banks involved and no progress. Been trying for almost a week.

The Nectar CC isn't in the drop down list of Natwest cards to choose, from my bank.
All Natwest cards have the same acc no and sort code and they wont let me add my CC number as the ref, doesnt recognise it.

I don't want a DD, and I never needed one with Sainsbury's Bank.
Hoping they will sort it out soon.
Already looking at other cards to move to.

Your statement's giro slip will contain a 6 digit sort code. The account number will be 00000000. The reference is your 16 digit card number.

You'll probably find one of these aligns with one of the options on that (very old) drop down anyway.

Still waiting for my Sainsbury's credit card to be merged with existing NatWest account here. Have had several chats and phone calls with NatWest. They say that it has been merged and I have received welcome messages and texts but it's not in my NatWest app or my online account. Whatever their "specialist team" have done, it hasn't worked for me. Very frustrating.

Regrettably no, this is the advice they passed to me the first time. When presented with the list of accounts none have the required 4 or 5 digits the Sainsbury cards start with.  Any that you choose will not allow you to enter your card number as the reference.  Couple more phone calls and the suggestion is to choose an a/c that allows you to enter the reference. The bank then flags you, warning that the transaction may not go where it is supposed to and it may even disappear altogether.  Call me old fashioned but I tend to stop at this point regardless of what they are telling me.  This is an utter mess, the card will be heading to the shredder once I can pay this bill.  The Nat West web site tells you that you have a number of ways to pay including ringing them and doing it 'over the phone' This is probably the next move followed by standing in the local branch on my day off and not leaving until the sort it out.

Set up a new payee.  Don't use the drop-down, just set the details manually.  Sort code 62-19-70, Account 00000000, Reference your 16 digit card number.  Every bank account should let you set up a payee in this way (any drop-down can never cover all companies you might want to pay).

If you are nervous send £1 first to make sure it arrives.

Job done.

Once set up you can use that payee for future payments (if you keep you card and really don't want to use Direct Debit).

Create New Payee.   Enter Details.   'We already hold these payee details'    Continue - get list with no option for that account - Only option is Nat West Visa Classic Card which has a free text box.  Gone for a pound.  Again though, system is broken, they hardly instil confidence.
