When you open a new account with a bank in the UK you’ll usually be given an account number and sort code. These two pieces of information are important because they’re how you make transfers and let other people know where to send you money. They’re also used to perform Confirmation of Payee checks, which helps keep payments secure.
Account number – Most UK bank account numbers are eight digits long, though this can vary, and is specific to each of your accounts. If you have several accounts with the same bank, each account will have a different account number.
Sort code – Sort codes are six digits long, usually split up into pairs, where the first two digits show which bank the account is with and the last four digits show which branch you opened the account at.
